History
On 9 October 1935, the Interfacultair Verbond was founded by Jef Van de Wiele. The increasing number of students made it necessary to set up Faculty circles as decentralising associations alongside faculties that reached all students. The Interfacultair Verbond overarching these Faculty circles wished to cooperate as closely as possible with the other Leuven student associations to form a breeding ground for interesting initiatives that concerned all students.
It was renamed the Kringencorporatie in 1938. In 1944, the name was changed a second time to Confederatie van Leuvense Faculteitskringen (CLF).
A final name change took place on 28 April 1953 when it became the Fakulteitenkonvent (FK).
From 1965 to 1969 the FK published the journal Rerum.
They disappeared in 1969 and were succeeded by the Algemene Studentenraad (ASR).
Colours
Their colours were Black-Yellow-Cyan.
Their shield showed a heart shield in the colours of the FK, surrounded by the shields of the different faculties:
- Theology and Canon Law: Gold field with Alpha and Omega on an open book.
- Law: Red field with silver scales.
- Medicine: Red field with a gold staff and snake.
- Philosophy and Arts: Azure field with a gold radiant sun.
- Economic and Social Sciences: Green field with a gold Caduceus
