This Columbia University diploma sample opens with the trustees’ name and the line “In the City of New York.” Widely spaced capitals give the heading room, while the smaller text records completion of the studies and degree requirements. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences appears in the dean’s signing label below. A gold-toned seal sits between the two signatures.
