Derivation of the Lorentz transformation without the use of Einstein's Second Postulate is provided along the lines of Ignatowsky, Terletskii, and others. This is a write-up of the lecture first delivered in PHYS 4202 E&M class during the Spring semester of 2014 at the University of Georgia. The main motivation for pursuing this approach was to develop a better understanding of why the faster-than-light neutrino controversy (OPERA experiment, 2011) was much ado about nothing.
