The University museum recently created a display of historic presidential campaign memorabilia from its collection as well as that of the University archives. On view are campaign buttons from FDR’s campaigns in the 1940s; a Herbert Hoover lucky piece from 1928; buttons from presidential hopefuls Adlai Stevenson, Eugene McCarthy, George McGovern; and more. Pictures and articles of presidential candidates such as John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Nelson Rockefeller, and other candidates on their visits to UP are also included. The display is located in the Buckley Center first floor display case across from the studies abroad office and will remain in place until early November.
