H has his diplomas displayed in his office. They are in matching frames - goldish (brushed?) frame, black velvet mat, tiny gold edge inside the black mat, then the diploma. His are BS and law. (the BS is from NU.) They are quite old, I must admit. These days, I can see the interest in a black frame. Maybe a tiny sliver of purple. I think it’s a nice idea. After all, it takes a lot of work to earn that piece of paper.

I may be old fashioned, but I like the idea of a diploma on an office wall - any type of diploma for any degree. It’s a conversation starter for anyone who walks in and glances at the wall. Maybe they went to that school too or know someone who does, or they’ve visited that state or they like the frame colors!!

Mine are on the wall next to me in my home office after a stint in a basement box for a few years. I have fond memories of my school days when I happen to glance at them.

It occurs to me that one day diplomas will be emailed to graduates and they may be debating whether to “display” or not display their diplomas as screen savers!
