...there any need for such drastic economy in the management of our athletic finances as would cut off from the four or five minor sports together so meagre a sum as twelve or fifteen hundred dollars a year? We have, to be sure, a debt of $70,000 on the Stadium to pay off, and many improvements to make on Soldiers Field. Undoubtedly if we wish to apply strict business principles to this case, the thing to do is to adopt at once the most stringent economy and thus pay the debt and make the improvements at the earliest possible...
...cost of maintaining the New Lecture Hall, the Germanic Museum, the Semitic Museum and the Stillman Infirmary, contributed largely to an increase of $16,892.42 in the item of expenses on College buildings. The closing of the Veterinary School account by a final payment of $11,161.60 on its debt and expenses, was a further burden on the University. These items, it will be seen, more than account for the year's deficit. Unfortunately the deficit has been charged to the "Insurance and Guaranty Fund," thus encroaching on the principal of the University's resources...
Replying in rebuttal for the negative, Lockwood pointed out that the debt could be collected in other ways than by the seizure of land; namely, by seizure of ships, by the collection of the internal revenues or by temporary holding.

Let them once lose part of their territory as a result of their own wrongdoing and they will soon eradicate the evils from which the loss arose. Any policy which allows the debt to remain unpaid after the day set for payment, would mean nullification of the award of the Hague tribunal. Not only, then, will our policy do justice to European countries, but also will it teach South American states invaluable lessons, and support the great principles of arbitration; it will give to the United...
...arbitration; that it would involve injustice and oppression toward the South American republics; that in every case it means actual war. It has been further shown that the very money award may be collected without actual war; that no nation should take this expensive method of satisfying a debt unless the land were desired for an entering wedge and lastly that the practical difficulties and serious consequences would be so great as to threaten the very existence of the South American republics and inevitably to draw the United States into conflict with European governments...
