Obviously a true and representative sample. But actually I know at least a few USians who got their diplomas day of the ceremony, rolled up and tied with a ribbon. That might also encourage some kind of framing/preservation sort of thing, since of course it wouldn't last very long if you stuck it in a drawer all rolled up.
