<p>I was looking at my uncle’s diploma the other day, and at first I couldn’t tell what I was looking at. The only thing I could read was his name, because apparently they printed the rest of it in Latin.</p>
<p>My first thought was, “how elite can you get, printing something in an extinct language that normal people can’t read.” </p>
<p>I meant to ask him why, but it slipped my mind.</p>
<p>Furthermore, why does it say “veritas” on the little shield in the top left corner? Doesn’t verity mean truth? (Is that Harvard’s motto or something?)</p>
<p>Just curious.</p>
