The opening words, “Be it known,” lead into a statement from the School of Medicine faculty. On this St. George’s University diploma sample, the faculty confers the degree under the authority of the Trustees and recognises completion of the required course of study. The university and school names appear in blackletter, while the award text runs down the centre in script. A red-and-gold seal sits between two pairs of signature positions.
