1934 Vince Lombardi Fordham University Sodality Diploma....
Description
1934 Vince Lombardi Fordham University Sodality Diploma. Issued three years before his 1937 graduation, this rare 1934 Fordham certificate honors Vince Lombardi's participation in the Jesuit Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Catholic student organization emphasizing faith, discipline, and service. Printed in Latin and sealed with the Fordham crest, it reflects the moral and spiritual foundation that shaped Lombardi's legendary coaching philosophy. Far more than an academic relic, this document captures the formative influence of Jesuit principles on one of football's greatest leaders-a significant, early artifact from the life of the man who defined excellence and integrity in sport. Measures 17x14". Originally obtained by Packer City Antiques in Green Bay from a Lombardi family member. VG condition.Guide Value or Estimate: $4,000 - up.
