presented during the commencment at ?Formiti
On diplomas the dates and places of their presentations are supplied at the end of the body of the text. A typical formula is, e.g., 'datum (name of city or town in the locative) sollemnibus xii die mensis Iunii celebratis anno Salutis Humanae millesimo et decimo, etc.' 'Fomittis looks very much like a place name in the locative plural and may be the Latin mae of the city or town where the college is located.

The only Latin name for Canton of which I'm aware is (Provincia) Coamceuvensis, i.e., Guangzhong in China.

Note from asker:
| I agree with you that it looks like a place name. Is it possible, though, to be Latin for Canton, NY? |

comitiis solemnibus
I saw diplomas couple of times with the phrase "datum comitiis solemnibus" - issued at the solemn ceremony.
May be the font is not very clear on your document and it should read "comitiis" (Abl. of comitia)?

Note from asker:
| It would have been nice and easy to translate, had it been 'comitiis'. Unfortunately, the two 't's are quite clear and first letter simply can't be a capital 'C'. |

thank you, Jennifer!

Joseph Brazauskas
: My own preference would be for 'comitiis solemnibus' as well, since this is routine in diplomas. But the asker is certain of the orthography.
