The Augustan Society, Inc., describes itself as an "association of scholars" in the Augustan subjects. To encourage and promote interdisciplinary studies without having to assign each project to a primary department, all most projects are organized as a number of [[Study Groups]] under the direction of a '''Dean of Studies'''. He is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the [[President]]. The Dean in turn names the [[Coordinators]] for each of the Study Groups, who serve at his pleasure.
Duties of the Dean of Studies include:
<li>Assisting Study Groups in requesting or recommending books and other materials for the [[Library]] on their topic; and </li>
<li>Conducting such surveys of the membershipinterests, including the creation of surveys to be included with membership and other petitions.</li>
</ul>
[[Headquarters Staff]] will support the Dean of Studies by compiling and making available the results of member surveys, including those collected with petitions to membership, and such other sources as they may have available.
