How, many wonder, do you explain a student enrollment limited to 700 students on each campus, with this cultural atmosphere and such major-scale facilities and operations? Here they see a $2,500,000 computer; a modern television studio (Pasadena campus), larger and better equipped than most television stations; major-size printing plants on each campus - one of the largest on the west coast at Pasadena; and, on the Pasadena campus, a payroll of more than $6,000,000 annually. They see magnificent landscaping: green carpeted, contoured, immaculately maintained lawns; beautiful gardens, fountains, streams, pools; outstanding works of art and sculpture. At Pasadena and England they see proud old multi-millionaire mansions restored to original stateliness, skillfully blended with award-winning new buildings of classical-modern design.
