History

The ANLO was founded on 26 September 1991. [3] However, it was only inaugurated later on 26 April 1992 at 6H26 local time at the borders of the lake of Louvain-la-Neuve. The time between the foundation and the inauguration was used by the founding fathers to develop their ideas and write the codex mentioned above. The founding fathers are the following 8 people : François Boeck, Gabriel Dupret, Christophe Geus, Thomas Gilbert, Benoît Poncin, Eric Poepaert, Oliviers Servais and Li-An (Alexis) Tsien.

The inauguration that day followed several distinct steps :

Objectives

Most of the objectives are described in the first title of the codex.: [4]

Members

Becoming a member

Someone aspiring to become a member of the corporation must be a student of UCLouvain. This criterion was put forward, not out of elitism, but to preserve some uniformity between the members. The aspiring members (called novici, which is a wrong Latinization of novices ), before becoming one of the members (called eques) needs to prove himself on different points during the whole of an academic year. During this year, he will have to attend several courses on varying topics, such as the history of Louvain-la-Neuve, the life of students during Medieval Times, the other Belgian corporations, the knowledge of heraldic , the codex, etc. While attending these courses and the regular reunions, the novici will have the chance to get to know the folklore, the objectives and the other members better. Finally, to develop the aspect of multi-culturality and folklore promotion, each novici needs to prepare a conference on a free topic to the other members.

Permanent committee

As one of the eques, it is possible to become a member of the permanent committee [5] in charge of the day to day organisation of the corporation. Several roles are similar to the ones from other corporations , often inspired by the older corporation ASMO . This committee is composed of 8 different people:

These commitments are fixed to one academic year and can be renewed through the process of democratic elections. If the magister magnus is not reelected, he automatically becomes a member of the Senat. Others who are not reelected stay regular members for life.

Senate

The senate is composed of former magistri magni and the founding fathers. Their main role is to check that the committee is respecting the traditions, the spirit and the objectives of the corporation. They have an advisory role, which can be turned into a moralizing one if things don't go the way they should according to the codex.

Clothing

All members (and the eques, after having passed a certain ritual during their first year) wear a distinct cape during the activities of the corporation. The overall color is purple, which is the color of the calotte typical for Belgian Catholic students. The borders of the cape are finished with blue and white lints. They also wear a blue and white band, finished with silver borders. The band's colors remember the colors of the Alma Mater. It goes over the left shoulder for novici and over the right one for eques.
