TheLiberal Students of Norway (Norwegian:Norges Liberale Studentforbund, often:NLSF andLiberale Studenter) is the political student organization of the NorwegianLiberal Party (Venstre), with chapters in the major university cities ofOslo,Bergen,Trondheim andÅs. It was founded in 1908,[1] making it one of Norway's oldeststudent organizations.
The organization's name has changed several times. Originally namedSocial-radikale studenterforening (1908-1911), it has used other names such asStudentenes Venstreforening (1911-1924),Studentenes Venstrelag andStudentvenstrelaget.
NLSF used to publish the magazinesEpoke (1947 - ?) and thenLiberalt Perspektiv.
There has previously beenDenfrisinnede studenterforening which is already mentioned in1880.[2] A delegation fromStudentenes Venstreforening is also mentioned to have participated in a conference inUppsala in1901.[3]
The current organization was founded in 1908 under the nameSocial-radikale studenterforening. The student society of Oslo was then led by the conservativeC. J. Hambro and refused to pass a resolution condemning students who werebreaking a strike among harbor workers.[4] A committee led byWilhelm Keilhau sought to gather all the "academical citizens who want radical policies in social matters".Ole Solnørdal was elected president under the constitutive assembly on the 27th of November 1908.[4]
Studentenes Venstrelag contributed to the revival ofUnge Venstre,Venstre's youth wing from 1920 to 1926. It functioned in 1936 as an affiliate of both the youth and mother organization.[5]
The Trondheim chapter is founded in 1946-1947.[6] The Bergen chapter is founded during the first half of the 1950s,[7] it temporarily dissolved in 1970-1971 and transformed into the unaffiliatedPopulistiske Arbeidsgrupper.
