Dear Mr. Mudd: Why Does My Princeton Diploma Spell “University” as “Vniuersitatis”?
By April C. Armstrong *14 on behalf of “Mr. Mudd“ Dear Mr. Mudd, My fiancé just noticed that my Princeton diploma spells “university” in Latin as “Vniuersitatis,” rather than “Universitatis.” We have searched, but haven’t been able to find an explanation for this (nor have we found an alternative Latin spelling). Could you tell us?…
