Changed lead image. It is entirely arbitrary to lead with an image of a random 1973 diploma from U.Buffalo, as it was not the first institution to grant a PhD, nor is the named recipient relevant to this article/topic. Ideally it should be an image of an early 19th century German PhD diploma, but a Yale 1861 diploma also make sense as the first doctoral program in the United States. It also looks bad that the named individual in the random UB diploma is a wikipedia grandmaster editor.
