While there is not presently a publication by and for this group and topic, there once was, and could be again. If done, this should include material that is for some reason not appropriate for either The Augustan Omnibus or Augustæum.
When there are at least five Augustans in Good Standing among the members, the Dean may call for elections to his office; when there are ten, he must. When there are 25, he may propose to the Board a Council to govern the society; when there are 50, he must.
