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}." /
