Glasgow University Liberal Democrats (university society : 1997- : University of Glasgow, Scotland)

The Glasgow University Liberal Democrats was founded in 1828 at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, as the Glasgow University Liberal Club. By 1993, it was known as the Glasgow University Liberal Democratic Society and by 1997 was the Glasgow University Liberal Democrats. Its purpose was to "bring together all Liberal Democrat students within Glasgow University and all those sympathetic to the cause Liberal Democracy". Membership was open to all matriculated students of Glasgow University only. Associate membership was open to those attending a further or higher education establishment within Glasgow, as well as former students, members of university staff and other interested parties. The executive committee was elected annually and consisted of a president, vice-president (political), vice-president (social), secretary, treasurer, a Europe officer, a publicity officer, a web officer, an honorary president and three honorary vice-presidents. Mr R Hamilton-Brown was whip secretary in 1925-1926, honorary secretary in 1926-1927 and president in 1927-1928. Meetings took place weekly in term-time with guest speakers from the Liberal Democrat party and local councillors. The club was still functioning in 2003.
