"The sacred mission bestowed upon the Humanities and Arts Guild is none other than the forging of a vibrant community of students of the liberal arts at Swinburne. By bringing together the students of this most noble group of disciplines, the Guild seeks to reanimate the cultural corpse that is the Arts community and bind together the students of Sociology, Politics, Philosophy, Media and the other humanities with that most powerful of social adhesives; subsidized booze and good conversation."
