Boxer statue with ribbon

Title

Boxer statue with ribbon

Description

A photograph of the original "Boxer" statue circa 1900. The statue was the inspiration for the mascot of Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. The statue was a bronze Chinese incense burner in the form of a qilin. In this photograph, which may have been made by the Pacific University Class of 1902, Boxer is seated on a tablecloth and is wearing a ribbon around his neck. The Class of 1902 was the first group of students to possess Boxer, having stolen the statue from Marsh Hall in October 1899. This scan is from the university's 1903 yearbook, in which the photograph was reproduced.
