Editor’s note: I’ve tried my best to make this list inclusive, but I may have left out someone’s favorite alumnus due to the time constraints (and, you know, my not living in New York!) that kept me from digging up all the necessary info. If so, I apologize for the oversight, and please leave any helpful suggestions in the comments section. Thanks, heroes!
