In the ‘60s the university was obligated by the government to enforce student-teacher interaction. Studies also became more distinct. That mix of circumstances was the reason that many studies left our agricultural association this decade. 

In 1988, after more than 70 years of education, the study ceased to exist, because: “A relatively small amount of graduates in a time of scarcity has huge consequences”. While most studies had experienced enormous growth that decade, tropical agriculture did not share that. 

WSV Navantus, meaning ‘Wageningse StudieVereniging NAzaten Van Arvense eN TUinbouwkundige Studenten’ or ‘Wageningen Study Association Descendants of Arvense and VWTS’,  was formed on the 27th of November 1997 after the study associations Arvense and VWTS merged. Both associations had their last General Meeting that same day.

In 1999 the boards of WSV Navantus and Optima Flora met. They had been informed that in a few years their studies would merge again, because of a lack of students. Both WSV Navantus and Optima Flora had their last General Meeting on the 31st of October and was followed by the first general meeting of Semper Florens that same day.

StEL found it hard to fill the board with only the MSc students and thus the association ceased its activities. The tasks of the association were given to Semper Florens in 2010 and MOA students first started being introduced to Semper Florens from the Winter-AID 2011 even though StEL was officially dismantled a few years later in 2016.
