After asking around more it seems like it is not possible to do what I
want by using mod_rewrite.  

I think the only solution is to install everything in a directory above
'lyceum'.  I don't know how to do that. 

Has anyone else done this?  Surely someone else has wanted the urls to
the individuals blogs to not include the directory 'lyceum'?  It is not
a word most people would be familiar with or know how to spell, so I
could see them making mistakes when telling someone the url to their
blog.
