<![CDATA[Hoya]]>[Georgetown University] mascot. The official explanation holds that there was a baseball team at Georgetown called the Stonewalls. It is suggested that a student, applying Greek and Latin, dubbed the team the hoia saxa-- hoia is the Greek neuter plural for what or what a, while saxa is the Latin neuter plural for rock. Substituting a y for an i; [hoya saxa] literally means what rocks. Now, a Hoya takes the form of a Bulldog, but students still cheer [Hoya Saxa] at games.

A student or faculty member from the greatest university in the history of universities.
