[Introduction]
Prominent members of the staff were seen at the Socialist Club's buffet tea on Saturday, June 11, in the women's common room. This annual function, noted for the quality of refreshments, was attended by Professors Belshaw, Buchanan, Mr. E. K. Braybrooke (law faculty), J. M. Hinton (philosophy department), P. Dronke (English department). James Bertram (English department), J. Ritchie and J. Ryan (psychology department) and 50 others.
Toastmaster Ron Poison proposed the first toast, to the Queen. Mr. C V. Bollinger proposed the College and pointed out that intellectual freedom was a heritage of this College through the work of Professor Hunter and others. Mr. Braybrooke, replying, suggested that intellectual freedom did not mean the right to differ merely for the sake of differing, but the right to criticise things when they deserved reform.
