An audio recording of an oral history of Bruce Bishop, Pacific University Class of 1968, recounting memories of his time at Pacific as a college student. The main topic of the recording is Bruce's memories of Pacific University's mascot, Boxer, including: the Boxer "Toss" and "Flash" events; the original Boxer statue's disappearance in 1969 and Bruce's involvement in its recovery over 50 years later in 2024; his involvement in commissioning the Boxer III replica in 2018; and the theft and recovery of Boxer III from Tran Library in 2019. Bruce also discusses: being at Pacific during the political events of the late 1960s; meeting his wife at Pacific; Pacific's dining hall being moved from McCormick Hall to Washburne Hall; connections with fraternities including his own, Gamma Sigma; and his opinions on what "Boxer Spirit" means for Pacific students.
