Worn by the donor, Mrs. Elizabeth Ogden (née Bettie Harnischfeger), as a student at Westover Boarding School in Middlebury, Connecticut. The school uniform was designed by Mainbocher at the request of Mrs. William Paley. It was worn with starched white collar, tied bow tie, and polished shoes. This costume was checked daily; if incorrect, the student was required to memorize a literary piece and recite it to other students. Mrs. Ogden attended this school from 1937-1939 (ages 15-17), known as a "two year girl". The khaki uniform was the day uniform.]]>
