Photographer Donald Laing says, "A truck was hired, and text drawn on fabric, [goodness knows who “Queen Pervia” referred to]. Directing operations was Ross Ferguson, the most level-headed, reliable, tolerant and often resigned member of Weir. He did so much to bring common sense and class to the often-chaotic student world of Weir. He was the most statesman-like person I met in my time at university."SubjectWeir HouseStudent life
