Re: Something substantial, or too big to be true?
If you're going to speak English then you should write numbers like we do too.

Re: Something substantial, or too big to be true?
Sure, why not? Universities are still being founded in the US with much smaller amounts of money.Originally posted by aneeshm
Now my question here is, can you simply pour tons of money into a big-ass institution, hire the best people money can buy, and expect it to work? Is it even possible to simply "create" something as complex as a university, just like that?
Now, mind you, this would be one of the largest universities in the world. The largest in the US is Utah, with a student body of 50,000.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.
