Parisian institution aggrieved to receive German capital (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorbonne

'parisian institution' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'aggrieved to receive german capital' is the wordplay.
'aggrieved' becomes 'sore' (I've seen this before).
'to receive' indicates putting letters inside.
'german capital' becomes 'bonn' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sore' placed around 'bonn' is 'SORBONNE'.

(Other definitions for sorbonne that I've seen before include "Parisian university" , "Common name for the University of Paris" , "Parisian institution" , "Famous part of Paris University with literature and science faculties" , "Non-Boers go over to this French university" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
