The different university

That was the founder's motto for Cornell University, and it seems an apt characterization of the different university, also in the USA, where I currently teach philosophy.

Could you please give me the right meaning of "the different university"? Does it mean "the other university"?

The university where he teaches is not Cornell. It is some other university. " the other university" is not right unless the number of universities in scope has been reduced to two by the prior context.
