A portrait of Pacific University student, Verle Stanley. He is in his military uniform. According to the caption with the portrait, Stanley was in possession of the Boxer mascot when he was called-up to fight during World War I. He hid Boxer in Mrs. Brown's flour bin on the Pacific University campus before he went off to fight. A fellow student, Thomas Fowler '21, was in possession of Boxer's tail and took the tail with him to war. After World War I ended, the Boxer's body and tail were reunited when the two returned to Pacific University. This picture appears in an album that was compiled by Greta McIntyre Sheeley, a 1920 Pacific University graduate.
