Selected

a/the graduate who has demonstated (his ability in) his course of academic studies

'a/the graduate who has demonstrated (his ability in) his course of academic studies to the College's President and Professors'

The wording is indeed unusual. Normally some such clause as 'examinibus peractis' or the like is adjoined. 'Probavit' in a diploma ordinarily means 'tested and proved, proved by testing' or by some other demonstration of his learning. But its direct object here seems to be 'cursum suum', not 'alumnum'.
