Description
-
The A.S.P.U. (Associated Students of Pacific University) Calendar from Spring 1968, showing an older photograph of the school's original Boxer statue on its cover. The calendar includes information about social, academic and sports events on campus. The photograph dates from an earlier decade. It is nearly identical to a photograph that was most likely taken by photojournalist Ellis Lucia in the late 1940s or early 1950s (Pacific University Class of 1944; see PUA_MS104_0001). The image shows Boxer missing one leg and his tail, with welding marks visible on his other leg and neck. This damage was sustained during "Boxer Tosses," when students would fight over possession of the statue.

This is one item from a collection bringing together archival material on the history of 'Boxer,' Pacific University's mascot. Letters, news clippings, photographs and other items are included, illustrating its history from when the Boxer statue first arrived on campus in the 1890s through its disappearance in 1970. Efforts to find, recreate and commemorate the statue since that time are also covered.
