PHILOLOGICAL EXACTNESS
(To the Editor.)
Sir—l read with much interest' Mr. L. D. Austin's letter, in which he referred to drawing "public attention to the- ungrammatical wording upon the Island Bay Memorial Band Rotunda, which, unless it has since been amended, will go down to posterity as a glaring example of philological ineptitude." With much diffidence, I should like Mr. Austin to explain why the rotunda (even if it lamentably has not been amended; should be posterity's glaring example of philological ineptitude. Or did he really mean the wording? It seems to be a question for someone possessing some elementary knowledge of the major principles governing syntax.—l am, eta, G.T.W.
