Boston Brahmins are wealthy Yankee families characterized by a highly discreet and inconspicuous life style. Based in and around Boston, they form an integral part of the historic core of the East Coast establishment. They are associated with the distinctive Boston Brahmin accent, and with Harvard University. The term Brahmin refers to the highest caste in the caste system in India. In the United States it has been applied to the old, upper crust New England families of British Protestant origin that were extremely influential in the development and leadership of arts, culture, science, politics, trade, and academia. 2, record 2, English, - Brahmins

Unified soil classification system. This system evolved from the airfield classification system after modifications by A. Casagrande of Harvard University and the US Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps of Engineers. It classified soil into three general groups-i. e. coarse-grained, fine-grained and highly organic, with a further fifteen categories depending on gradation of the coarse-particled soils and plasticity of the fine-grained soils. 6, record 4, English, - unified%20soil%20classification%20system
