History
Hugh Pincott read Chemistry at Queen's College, between 1960 and 1967, and in 1968 was the first student to receive a PhD from the University of Dundee. Whilst at Dundee, Pincott was heavily involved with the student charities campaigns and set up a publishing house from where the student newspapers and first University student handbooks were printed.
In the early 1960s, Pincott was senior student at Airlie Hall and was later elected president of the SRC. In August 1966, Pincott was the first person to drive over the newly-opened Tay Road Bridge.
