[In beautiful Latin calligraphy:]

The President and Faculty
of Georgetown University
to all who shall see this diploma
Greetings in the Lord
Since it is proper for those who have distinguished themselves by their talent and learning to be honored with some token of this distinction that is both merited and by which their learning may be acknowledged:
We, who have been empowered to this task by the highest authority of this Republic, make known to all to whose attention this diploma may come that our beloved daughter
Emily Elizabeth Hale
has been recommended by the faculty of
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
and approved in the presence of our faculties formally assembled and promoted to the degree
Master of Arts
and that she has been accorded all and each of the rights and privileges which this degree confers.
So that this may be clear to all, we have presented this diploma, signed by us and guaranteed by the seal of our university.

If you would like to be one to whose attention this diploma comes, you should come to Little Gidding and take a look! Who knew I would be this proud? I showed it to my section today and they clapped. I am the beloved daughter of Georgetown!
