Diploma

Title: Diploma
Description: The Davidson College diploma given to graduating seniors in the early twenty-first century is easily recognizable by its language (Latin) and elaborate design. In fact, the modern diploma is based on the college’s original diploma, used from 1840-1920. [Beaty] The college’s two Literary Societies gave out their own diplomas, almost as large and ornate as the college diplomas. These were handed out at separate ceremonies.
