PPG 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," [he
said,]
"just how many
students
do
you have
here?"
/
["Let
me (Subject of
"see") see
(Inf - DO of "Let"),"]
the
dean answered
thoughtfully, /
"I'd
say about
one
{in a hundred}." /
