This Texas Southern University diploma sample uses “In Witness Whereof” to introduce the passage about signing the document and affixing the university seal. A separate paragraph records authorization by the Board of Regents upon the Faculty’s recommendation at Houston, Texas. Blackletter carries the wording from the oversized university name down to the small signing labels. An oval gold seal containing a star sits beneath the text.
