Proceeds from army college (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

takings

'proceeds' is the definition.
('takings' can be a synonym of 'proceeds')

'army college' is the wordplay.
'army' becomes 'ta' (abbreviation for Territorial Army).
'college' becomes 'kings'.
'ta'+'kings'='TAKINGS'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for takings that I've seen before include "Income from sales, etc" , "Income from transactions" , "What's in the till" , "Monetary receipts" , "gold received?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
