| | may you all know | Explanation:
'Noveritis' seems jussive here. "May you all know that his Alma Mater, the University of Glasgow, has made its pupil XXX a Bachelor of Science, so that . . .". The tense is perfect subjunctive rather than present because '(g)noscere' has an inceptive meaning in the present system '('get to know, ascertain) but means 'have ascertained, know, recognise'.
