DESCRIPTION:The Ave Herald is relaying notice of this weekly session at the
  Queen Mary Pub exactly as received...As many of you know\, somewhat abrup
 tly the eminent Prof. Pakastein\, of North-northwest Central Siberian Univ
 ersity\, but a resident scholar at AMU\, was called away near the end of t
 he spring semester and consequently was unable to continue meeting with us
 \, for our discussions of Ex Corde Ecclesiae.   Some of us knew even then 
 the seriousness of his business\, namely\, that certain authorities and up
 per-mid-level bureaucrats had sought to consult with him relative to a sud
 denly become important project\, called &quot\;Framework for a Consolidati
 on of the Groundwork of the Ultimate Foundations for Basic Reasons constit
 uting the Only Possible Source of Moral Principles and Natural Law.&quot\;
   This was a project in the arcane discipline of meta-meta-meta-physics\, 
 originally started more than two centuries ago by disciples of that Prussi
 an genius\, Immanuel Kant\, but necessarily abandoned by them after severa
 l generations of researches and subsequently left completely unattended.  
  Given the explosive nature of that inquiry\, the authorities were fearful
  that a project such as that needed to be &quot\;defused&quot\;\, much as 
 one deals with an armament left over from the war or an unexploded ordinan
 ce.  It was not prudent to allow it to remain apparently inert in fields o
 f philosophical thought.  Prof. Pakastein accordingly was called in to han
 dle the situation\, as only he\, through his deep researches\, would be ab
 le to carry out the required series of transcendental abductions necessary
  for rendering the entire inquiry pointless-- we mean &quot\;harmless&quot
 \;.  Last we had heard\, however\, his work was stymied\, as he had become
  caught between diverging categorical and hypothetical imperatives\, which
  (poor man) sprang up suddenly and overwhelmed him.  Yet we have complete 
 confidence in his ultimate success.\nDear Prof. Pakastein has sent us nume
 rous communications from his state of\, as it were\, philosophical suspens
 ion\, pleading with us to continue the seminar he had started in his absen
 ce.  Feeling as if orphaned\, we are not so bold as to continue meeting un
 der his name.  However\, we do wish to announce the formation of a new gro
 up\, not uninspired by the example of that singular man of science and sch
 olarship: COMMUNIO MAGISTRORUM\, Queen Mary Pub\, Thursdays\, 7-8 pm\nProf
 s. Pakaluk and Waldstein wish call this new group Communio Magistrorum\, &
 quot\;community of scholars&quot\;\, as that phrase has been the gloss sup
 plied by Popes since the 13th c on the phrase Universitas magistrorum\, us
 ed to describe a university.  In good 13th century fashion\, we propose to
  meet at a Publick House\, where drinks may complement the inherent conviv
 iality of such a gathering\, viz. The Queen Mary\, on Thursdays at 7pm\, c
 onvening around any free tables outside.  The meeting will last no more th
 an an hour\, until 8 pm\, although as regards participants continuing the 
 discussion until a later hour if they wish -- nihil prohibet.  (Yes\, Lati
 n will be the secret language of the group.  Shhhh!) Our first topics: 1. 
  What is a university?  How does it differ from a college?  and 2.  What i
 s implied by Ex Corde's teaching that a university is constituted by the f
 aculty together with their students? For background reading we wish to rec
 ommend\, as supplying helpful perspective and an objective point of view f
 rom someone who has no axe to grind\, the entry\, &quot\;University&quot\;
 \, in Johnson's Cyclopedia\, available from google books here.  However\, 
 it is not necessary to do this background reading in order to attend. Plea
 se feel free to spread the word.  Also\, as always\, if you do not wish to
  be included on the mailing list for this group\, please let us know.  THE
