Inscriptions can be found in many British cathedrals that use this abbreviation to denote holders of the degree of Doctor of Divinity (D.D.); the practice of denoting this degree as S.T.P. or S.T.D. has now died out.

Famous quotes containing the word older:

    “As for farming, I am convinced that my genius dates from an older era than the agricultural. I would at least strike my spade into the earth with such careless freedom but accuracy as the woodpecker his bill into a tree.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
