...supplies formerly consumed at home will be diverted to our army. In the second place, a debt will be incurred which in the future must be paid to the holders of bonds.

Whereas one university is helped by the kindness of graduates to make good the loss, the other two plan to eliminate the cause by increasing enrolments. Like all plans, this must first be tried before its success can be determined. Radical curtailment of expenses, if that is possible...
