Title: Boxer III with two other Boxers
Description: The "Boxer III" bronze statue (middle, steel-colored) sitting in between a larger decorated Boxer statue (created mid-2000s) and a small rubber replica of the "Boxer II" statue. This photograph was taken in the atrium of Tran Library on the Pacific University campus in 2022.; The original "Boxer" was a bronze statue in the form of a qilin. Pacific University students had a tradition of hiding, stealing and fighting over the statue as a symbol of college spirit. Boxer became Pacific University's mascot in 1968. The original statue was missing from 1969-2024. "Boxer II" was a recreation of the original Boxer made in 1983; Boxer III was a more accurate recreation, made in 2018.
