Society's policy

The Social Democrat Society is to be a club for "independent left-wing liberals believing in 'democratic socialism said one of those concerned in the society's organization shortly before the inaugural meeting.

The society's policy will be to strenuously oppose encroachments on our democratic rights and freedoms from any quarter, and generally to concern ourselves with all matters either of particular interest to the student body or of general importance," he added.

"This latter aim would not seem to be exclusive to the Social Democrat Society—but we cannot deny that it is about time VUC showed it is neither a 'hotbed of Communism' [unclear: nor] a 'home of reaction', but in the true and enlightened university style, it can foster that body of democratic left-wing liberals who will doubtless have so much influence in the community in future years."
