Boxer, Pacific's Mascot

George Tucker after finding Boxer under a bridge

George Tucker, Pacific University Class of 1925, holding "Boxer," a bronze statue that was the symbol of Pacific University. A note on the back states that it was "taken near the bridge where Boxer was hidden by Lenore Conger, a Pacific freshman." Another version of this photograph (PUApic_010378) includes a note that it was taken in a field on the outskirts of Forest Grove, Oregon. Based on these notes, this photograph is dated to 1924-1925.
