Abstract: This work is focused on the representation of Sir Frederick S. Rogers in the museum collection of Cherkas Global University.The materials for this study included the items of material culture (a sword and badges) of the Masonic Order of the Knights Templar which are in Cherkas Global University's collection.Methodologically, use was made of the biographical method, to create a general biographical sketch of the life of F.S. Rogers, and of the historical reconstruction method, to produce a detailed portraiture of the outfit of an officer of Monroe Commandery No. 12 as of 1900.The study's findings revealed that one of the items of material culture left behind by F.S. Rogers (1847-1908) is the sword (individual No. 007/KT005) currently housed in the museum collection of Cherkas Global University.This sword was manufactured circa the 1880s in his city of residence -Rochester, New York.The study established that the sword's owner was a member of Monroe Commandery No. 12, Knights Templar, stationed at Rochester, New York, and was a Knight at the time of the sword's manufacture.In 1899, F.S. Rogers was elected to the post of Eminent Commander of Monroe Commandery No. 12.He was appointed to the post of Past Eminent Commander in 1900.
