Title: Ken Colman with Boxer II
Description: Pacific University student Ken Colman (Class of 1984) holding the "Boxer II" statue, probably in 1983 or 1984. Boxer II was a replica of the original "Boxer" statue, which was also Pacific University's mascot. There was a tradition of hiding, stealing and fighting over the statue as a symbol of college spirit. In Colman's memory, the "Men of Mac Hall" (i.e. residents of McCormick Hall) won control of Boxer II around that time period, and this photograph was taken "in the Head Resident’s apartment." This photograph was donated in digital format to the Pacific University Archives in 2025.
