ENIn 1925, the Ateitininkai student organisation established the Temperance Corporation in the University of Lithuania in Kaunas. In 1926, this corporation introduced its distinctive marks - a cap and a sash, and established a badge of three classes - custom, silver and gold. The badge was awarded to the members of the corporation for their contribution to promoting temperance. The initiator and designer of the badge was the Reverend Aleksandras Lėvanas (1905-1978), a teacher and doctor of theology. Badges were awarded to distinguished members and patrons of the corporation from 1926 to 1929. Six pieces of first-class badges, twenty pieces of second-class badges and seventy-two pieces of third-class badges were produced. The surviving lists of the awarded persons show that part of the badges were never awarded. [From the publication]
