Biographical / Historical
The Federation of University Conservative & Unionist Associations (FUCUA) was founded in January 1930 with Col. John Buchan MP as its first President. It produced 'almost from the date of its inception, several magazines which varied as much in quality as in their titles.' [Source: memo concerning the background to Comment and its predecessors, c1952: Shelfmark: PUB 202/2]. In the 1960s, the FUCUA was re-named the Federation of Conservative Students.
One of the first publications by the FUCUA appears to have been the Young Statesman, which ceased publication in October 1946 [no copies held in the CPA].
