Description

Little is known about the manufacturer of this regalia. We do know that this would have been purchased and worn by Hovey as part of his dress uniform, military attire worn for official events, parades, or other military functions. Both of Hovey’s swords were donated to the University by Harriet Hovey, Charles’s wife, for Founders Day events in February 1913. That year, students, alumni, and Civil War veterans who served with Hovey honored the leader and president.
