In 1933, a group of undergraduates from the St Johns College Boat Club who were members of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists were involved in the ceremonial burning of a page of the Oxford Union minute book. The page in question recorded the vote on 9 February 1933 in favour of a motion "That this House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country."
