...intensive training. The work has consisted mainly of constructing combination trenches, which do not present so many difficulties in building. It was also found necessary to construct trenches of this type because the dampness of the ground where the work is being carried on did not allow any depth for digging. Sand-bag fortifications have also been erected in connection with this work...
...free from blemish--a great achievement for a group of amateurs, and still a greater for their trainer. It is again surely no reproach to point out that these students have not the wide range of light and shade, with subtly adapted tone-qualities and suggestions of emotional depth that have come to expect from the best choral societies and professional choruses.

The sonnet by Mr. Rickaby is buoyant in tone and complete in execution. "The Arthropoda," by Mr. Rogers, represents a mingling of "cold blue science with a puikish dream divine" which has at least the merit...
