What stands out on this SUNY Buffalo State diploma sample is a line near the middle: “and have granted this diploma as evidence thereof.” The sentence continues into the place of issue, spelling out the City of Buffalo, the State of New York and the United States of America. It’s a detail you might miss beneath the two large blackletter headings.
Sample Details
“State University of New York” spans the top of the landscape page. “College at Buffalo” sits directly underneath, with a shorter gold rule of its own. The heavy blackletter stops there. Below it, slanted script carries the award statement, naming the faculty as the recommending body and the university trustees as the ones who confer the degree. The preview obscures the recipient’s name, the degree title and the date.
At the foot of the page, the blue and gold SUNY seal separates two pairs of signatures. The Board of Trustees and College Council titles sit on the left; the Chancellor and President of the College appear on the right. The seal carries the words “To Learn, To Search, To Serve,” with “1948” beneath it.
