One
day
(NuA),
an Eastern University
professor
visited
the
expanding campus
{of
the University} {of California} {at Los Angeles}. /
He
watched
construction
work
{on
half a dozen new buildings}. / He
inspected
new
laboratories
and
attended summer
classes
{in
modern
study rooms}.
/
He walked
{across
miles} {of eucalyptus-lined lawns
and athletic fields} {with one} {of the deans}.
/
He
was impressed.
/
"My
(Interjection)," [he
said,]
"just how many
students
do
you have
here?"
/
["Let
me
see,"]
the
dean
answered
thoughtfully, /
"I'd
say about
one
{in a
hundred}." /
