Son accompanying president around Brown and another US university (8)
I believe the answer is:
stanford
'us university' is the definition.
'Stanford' can be an answer for 'university' (Stanford is an example). I am not certain of the 'us' bit.
'son accompanying president around brown' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's'.
'accompanying president' becomes 'ford' (Gerald Ford. I am not sure about the 'accompanying' bit.**).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'brown' becomes 'tan' (tan is a kind of brown).
's'+'ford'='sford'
'sford' going around 'tan' is 'STANFORD'.
'and another' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stanford that I've seen before include "American university" , "Charles Villiers --, Irish composer" , "Charles Villiers -; Ir. composer" , "Northern California university" , "church composer" .)
