Title: Boxerettes Sweater
Description: A white knitted sweater that belonged to a member of Pacific University's "Boxerettes" women's organization, probably in the 1950s. The Boxerettes were an honorary service organization made up of sophomore women from Pacific University, which was active from approximately the late 1940s through the early 1970s.

Boxerettes were elected and "tapped in" to the service club in the fall of their sophomore years. The women organized and/or volunteered to run many activities on campus, such as setting up and chaperoning dances, ushering during plays, co-hosting the annual Christmas Wassail party, selling tickets and programs at sports events, and assisting with new student orientations. They were regarded as being some of the most active and visible students on campus.
