1 day3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 in the customary manner we have elected and declared
Explanation:
I.e., 'elected (or 'chosen') and declared' X to be Bachelor of Arts, Doctor of Medicine, or whatever other title was imparted to him or her in the degree concerned.
One may, of course, employ other more contemporary-sounding synonyms, but this is the sense.
For 'solemnis' in the (secular) sense of 'established, customary', cf., e.g., Livy 3.15: 'ab Aequis statum iam ac prope sollemne in annos singulos bellum timebatur'. For 'ritus' in the secular sense of 'way, manner, method', cf., e.g., Festus (ed. Műller, p. 273), where 'ritus' is defined as 'mos, consuetudo'. The ablative in this (instrumental) sense is very common.
