Salient. The Newspaper of Victoria University College. Vol. 19, No. 8. July 1, 1955

And you

And you

The toast to socialism was proposed by Mr Bonk Scotney, first editor of "Salient" in 1937; Mr. J. Bertram in reply, mentioned that he considered that the late Sir Stafford Cripps was the one politician that he would have followed through thick and thin. Once in the Oxford Union Sir Stafford had been asked "And what led you to become a socialist?" He replied, "Would it be too much to say, my Intelligence?"

The unity of forces working for socialism was proposed by Mr Goddard.

Hec MacNeill, proposing the toast for the Club, mentioned that he looked forward to the time when the Socialist Club was again accepted as the champion of the exploited minorities, and Majorie Munro replying said that the Club was now better organised than it had ever been in the past, and was capable of great things.

The fathering dispersed at 7.15 p.m. after partaking of an excellent spread of victuals.
