The Novacrat was published at Nova University from 1967 to 1972. It served as the official publication of the Gold Key of Nova University. The Gold Key organization was started to serve two purposes as President Warren J. Winstead stated in the initial issue:

"First, it will bring together the leadership of the several communities of South Florida. The import of such an assemblage can best be illustrated by citing the impact that the Committee of 100 has had on education in the State of Florida or the constructive influence that the Committee of 100 in Hollywood has had in that community. It is my firm belief that a group such as Gold Key can best achieve its goals through close association with a privately endowed and, therefore, non-political university with broad perspectives.

The second vital purpose of Gold Key is, of course, to provide financial support to Nova University during its critical formative years."

The philanthropic work of the society was used primarily to support the University Library and creating and maintaining key faculty positions.
