I remember that Brenda the Potter, Baron Vargskol, and Leonitas (now called Lodevicio) were in it.  Lodevicio may have gone by another name before Leonitas, but I don't remember it.

Yes.  And also Don Robert Simon Fraser had the Aristotlis Discipuli.  He
told me it was
for excellence in the Sciences, and the Gilden Thorn was for excellence
in the Arts.

(Time was, the A&S office was two offices, and we had endless debates
about what was
an art and what a science.  This led to silly rules of thumb like, "if
you drop it
and it breaks, it's an art", or "if you can use it for something, it's a
science.")
