Description
-
An alternate cast of the "Boxer II" bronze statue by sculptor Pat Costello, sitting in a box surrounded by packing paper. Pat Costello was commissioned by Pacific University students in 1982-83 to create Boxer II as a replica of the original "Boxer" statue, the mascot of Pacific University, which had been missing since 1969. Costello made two casts of Boxer II. The first cast was given in 1983 to the students who had commissioned the work. While the first cast of Boxer II went missing from public view in the mid-2000s, the second cast was kept as a yard ornament in one of the Costello family members' homes. The Costellos donated this second cast of Boxer II to Pacific University in the Spring of 2025. This photograph was taken while the statue was being transported from their home to Pacific.
