Title: Boxer missing a leg
Description: A side-view of Pacific University's original "Boxer" mascot statue. Boxer is missing one leg and his tail. Welding marks are visible on his other leg and neck. This damage was sustained during "Boxer Tosses," when students would fight over possession of the statue. This photograph may have been taken by Ellis Lucia (Class of 1944), as it was found in his archival papers. Lucia became a photojournalist after graduating from Pacific, and may have taken this photograph in the late 1940s or early 1950s.
