Victor Ludorum seems to be well known in horse racing circles, but I've still never heard of the assassin. I'm removing him until someone can give a reference.
Does anyone else support moving Jocasta to Tump House?

Is Victor Ludorum mentioned in the Yearbook? I don't remember him, can't Google him (a couple of the others, too, mind you). Assassins should probably have a category; there must be more of them than Watchmen. --Old Dickens (talk) 02:00, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Interesting that Jocasta Wiggs is on this House list: OK, she has family ties, but in accordance with conservative British public schools upon which the AG is modelled, you would have thought the young Ladies would be strictly gender-seperated in their own Boarding houses. Only the more outrageous or avant-garde British private schools permit mixed boarding. and the AG school is definitely not one of those! Look up "Bedales" or "Summerhill" for trendy ultra-liberal private schools... certainly not what you'd expect from the AGS. And from the reference to Alice Band being jocasta's tutor, the first guess would be Tump House... AgProv (talk) 09:42, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
