One of the cards for this student reads:
_________________________________________________________________________
This boy was educated at the Melbourne Grammar School but failed hopelessly to pass our Entrance Examination. He is very ignorant.

He first took a course on pigs then went on orchard.

Throughout his Course here he was a persistent and constant source(?) of annoyance. He declined to recognise authority of any description. He did not consider it wrong to steal.

His moral nature had a decidedly evil aspect. We eventually (?) got rid of him and he joined the Artillery. The Sun published his photo as the Outlaw of the Company.

Another card/letter reads:
_________________________________________________________________________
Mr Ernest Morris Hughes late of the AIF entered the College as a resident student May 1913 and volunteered for active service in March 1916. During the three years he pursued a course of training on the Orchard, Farm Piggery and trade shops.

He displayed considerable aptitude in each section and was noted for his activity(?), energy and willingness.

He has a good all round knowledge of farm practice and livestock and in my opinion will prove(?) a successful farmer.
