College Looks for Owners
Of 94 Unclaimed Sheepskins
By RAY KOEHLER
Looking for the proverbial
needle in a hayloft stacks up as a
task of major proportions but con
sider the plight of Miss Helen
Kline, recorder at the College,
who must find the owners of some
94 unclaimed diplomas dating
back to 1892.
Ordinarily the receiving of a
college diploma is the proudest
moment in the life of a student
and a day he long looks forward
to but, conversely, Miss Kline
finds the list of unclaimed sheep
skins increasing year after year.
"There are several reasons why
many diplomas lay unclaimed,"
she says. "Perhaps the chief one
is that until the fall of 1948, a
separate undergraduate fee was
charged. Now the College includes
this amount along with the stu
dent's general fees.
"Then too," she continues,
"some students may have their
sheepskins held up because of
other College debts such as library
fines and dormitory fees."
Must Have Reason
According to Miss Kline there
have been no previous attempts
to locate missing • owners. The
reason is that the College con
siders the claiming of a diploma
a personal matter. If the student
was hesitant in calling for his di-

ploma it was thought that he had
a reason for not doing so.
But reason or not, the vault
wherein the papers are kept is
starting to bulge, a warning to
College officials., that a bit of
housecleaning is in order.
Cards bearing the names of
tardy diploma-owners will be sent
to the College Alumni Office.
From that point an attempt will
be made to locate the person or
his family by mail.
Troubles will start to rise only
when the envelopes return stamp
ed 'unopened,' occupant moved to
another address,' address un
known," etc. No doubt a few of
the early diplomas will find that
their owners have , long since
passed away. In that case many of
the families will want to keep
them as remembrances, Miss
Kline believes.
"Throw It Away"
After writing several letters to
a man for the mailing address of
his 1949 Ph.D. diploma, the Col
lege recorder received a notation
to the effect that he had no earth
ly need for it and that they could
oblige him by throwing it in the
nearest waste basket.
It was then discovered that he
had also failed to call for his M.S.
diploma in 1942. Both diplomas
were mailed to him, however.
