Received Pronunciation. Received Pronunciation (a term by 19th Century linguist A.J. Ellis) is the probably the closest the United Kingdom has ever had to a âstandard accent.â Although originally related to the upper-classes in London and other areas of Southeast England, it is largely non-regional.
Vanderbilt, Michigan. Vanderbilt is a village in Otsego County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 562 at the 2010 census.
Vanderbilt, a private university ranked 21st on U.S. News and World Report list of top colleges, has long had a reputation as a Southern, white, wealthy--and Protestant--school. Jews account for about 4 percent of its enrollment of 10,500, compared with more than 20 percent at Ivy League schools. About 2 percent of the U.S. population is Jewish. The only Top 25 university with fewer Jewish students than Vanderbilt is the University of Notre Dame, a Roman Catholic school. It is a statistic Vanderbilt's chancellor, Gordon Gee, wants to change and a reason he hired Rabbi David Davis as an assistant to the provost a year and a half ago.
