Mooneschadowe has brought in non SCA speakers to teach a variety of 
A&S classes, everything from "Period Musical Instruments" to 
"the Poetic Edda", to "Herbalism", to "How the Plague Led to the 
Renaissance" (or something along those lines.... it was a very 
interesting class).  I've heard that some of our members are scheming 
to bring in a professor to assist in translating some of the Latin in 
the period music they've been learning...

We've found that there are people on and off campus who 
love sharing their esoteric interests.  Often they're thrilled to 
be invited to do a short class for people who are genuinely 
interesed in what they've got to say.  If you can find them, use 
them, I say.  Some of our best A&S meetings have revolved around non 
SCA guest speakers.
