- Remarkable footage from the 1970s, a time when the hair was longer and the trousers wider, has been discovered in the University of Dundee archive and now made available as part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebrations - www.dundee.ac.uk/50/student-experience/
Depicting the wide range of student experience at the heart of the University in 1977, the video recovered from the University Archives highlights a great deal of what has and hasn’t changed in Tayside over the last 40 years.
It captures many of the student traditions on campus, some of which are still alive while others have passed into history. The film also shows how the quality of the student experience has always been at the heart of the University’s activity.
Dundee is consistently ranked among the best student experiences to be found anywhere in the UK, placing in the top ten of the National Student Survey and being among the highest rated universities in the International Student Barometer, the largest annual survey of international students.
The `Live & Learn in Tayside’ 1977 video can be seen on the University’s 50th anniversary website at www.dundee.ac.uk/50/student-experience/
As well as the historical footage, the page contains new interviews with some of those who were caught on camera in 1977. There are also images from across the 50 years since Dundee gained its independence to become a university in its own right, showing a very different student union and accommodation, and memorable moments such as the Rectorial `drag’ for Peter Ustinov.
Fond memories and so good to see again my late, dear friend, mentor and supervisor Dr Bill Ferrier - ever an inspiration
1977: my first year... brings it all back!
Sweet memories! I was still a student then and even get to recognize some of my mates... This video is so precious!
I love the focus on social activity especially the inclusion of excessive drinking in an official film!
We left that sort of thing to the Bullingdon Club
Fascinating insights from a time not only when hair was longer and trousers wider, but also the music was different then too. Around 22mins30 seconds there is a clip of Alan Hawkshaw's "First Encounter" - www.emipm.com/en/browse/labels/KPMLP/1169
Alan or "The Hawk" as he is fondly known is now in his 80s.
Robert Robertson he's from Taggart as Dr Andrews I watch his drama series with Mark McManus and Amanda Lawson knew him. I Feel sad he died in Perth
1977 was my graduation year. Did an MA Hons in Geography but 10 years later I was the training manager of the largest film processing company in the UK (and largest lab in Europe) so despite a pretty basic knowledge of chemistry ( I did management) I can suggest that whoever processed this film didn't get it quite right as the colour has leached out over the years - probably poor fix
