200 is over sixteen dozens
That's almost dozens of dozens.
It's more than one and one third dozen dozens.
1.38̄*dozen^2
This Stanford math is over my head.
It's about a bakers bakers dozen bakers bakers dozens.
Also known as a dirty dozen

On wiki it says there are about 1700 undergrads per class, so if it's that plus some grad students at graduation, 200 walking out could be maybe a tenth of the attendees. Sounds pretty noticeable.

1/18th of the student population walked out.
