Thread: The structure "for + pro(noun) + infinitive" as the subject, is it possible?

Paperplane, in "That 13 of our students should have been selected..." and "That Boustany should have been found...", is should used to express the importance of an action? For example like here:
It's important that somebody should talk to the police.
Is it necessary that my uncle should be informed?
