-Recently, there has been a movement afoot to redesign the diploma, as few people in our modern world are aware that '''CVRATORES VNIVERSITATIS COLVMBIAE''' means "The Trustees of Columbia University". A university poll conducted in the early 2000s, nevertheless, indicated that the majority of then-students desired to keep the diploma in Latin.
+Recently, there has been a movement afoot to redesign the [[diploma]], as few people in our modern world are aware that '''CVRATORES VNIVERSITATIS COLVMBIAE''' means "The Trustees of Columbia University". A university poll conducted in the early 2000s, nevertheless, indicated that the majority of then-students desired to keep the diploma in Latin.
 For its part, the administration has waffled on change, offering, among other excuses, that the plates for printing the diplomas have been in service for a long time (nearly a century) and cannot be recast and remade on a whim.

 ==History==
-The Bachelor of Arts was first granted at [[King's College]] in [[1758]]. The formal name for the degree is ''Artium Baccalaureus'', a [[Latin phase]] that signifies the European heritage of the degree as well as the medieval conception of the "seven liberal arts" of grammar, dialectic, rhetoric, arithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomy. For many years, the degree granted by Columbia College was denoted "A.B."

For many years, the degree granted by Columbia College was denoted "A.B."
 This appears to have changed in recent years (though transcripts provided by the Registrar's office still denote the program of study as "A.B.") to the more conventional "B.A." The Latin itself on the degree has also changed to ''Baccalaureus in Artibus'', a phrase that instead of meaning Bachelor ''of'' Arts, now translates into Bachelor ''in'' Arts by replacing the (correct) genitive plural of ''ars'' with the (incorrect) ablative plural.
