I'm guessing he probably would have recognized it; it was a small fraternity back then... I can't remember how small my dad told me the total student population was there at the enclave, but I remember thinking it was so small it made the schoolhouse in Little House on the Prairie look like a state university by comparison.

Thank you, Jose, Kronckew, AJNumbers, Jentayu, and Dom for your thoughts...

In particular, thank you Jentayu for the translation of the medallions.

I am still awfully curious to hear your collective thoughts on the figures depicted in the three left-most panels...
