delivered the opinion of the court.

3. Colleges and universities, § 9*—when courts will not pass upon attainments of students.

Colleges and universities, § 9*-—what is not evidence that student is entitled to genuine diploma. The presenting to a medical student at the time of graduation of a blank diploma not filled out with his name or a degree or title, held not to be evidence that such student was entitled to a genuine diploma.
