Contents:

  • Hoisington High School Diploma, State of Kansas – awarded to Lorrin L. Caldwell, dated May 22, 1914

Description: A scholarly pairing of mid-century academic achievement, this lot includes Lorrin L. Caldwell’s 1914 high school diploma from Hoisington, Kansas, alongside a richly detailed Latin university certificate. The high school diploma is a classic example of Depression-era educational design, while the university document—adorned with a gold seal and Latin text—evokes the gravitas of traditional European academic formality. Together, they offer a compelling snapshot of one individual's educational journey through wartime America and beyond.

Collector Note: Ideal for ephemera collectors, genealogists, or anyone curating a display of vintage educational documents. These pieces speak to a bygone era of academic pride and paper-based prestige.
