From Anna's link:
Beaver College changes oft-derided name to Arcadia University
...
"It seems to be a perfect name," Avington said, citing Arcadia's origin as a picturesque region of ancient Greece and its associations with a peaceful environment for thought and learning.
So is there any way anyone can make something rude out of the new name?
"We don't believe so. Certainly, that was something we looked for," Avington said. "We tried to go through every scenario. We've looked pretty carefully at it."
Is that a challenge?
