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