History
Peter Spencer joined the University of Dundee in 1963 teaching physics in the Carnegie Laboratory. He took honorary retirement in 2003. During his time at Dundee he was a schools liaison officer and organised many visits for school pupils from Tayside and Fife and visits to schools 'all of which seemed very successful'. He also gave Christmas lectures and later on ran courses for adults on orchestral music and opera. He was elected Opsoc Hon Pres twice and during his time Opsoc performed 'wonderful' productions in the Whitehall theatre with G and S and operettas. In 2009 he was running the campaign to have the Kings Theatre in the Cowgate reopened (see correspondence file).
