Greta McIntyre Sheeley with Boxer

Title

Greta McIntyre Sheeley with Boxer

Description

A photograph of student Greta McIntyre Sheeley (Pacific University, Class of 1920) posing with the original "Boxer" statue. Boxer was a bronze statue of a qilin which was the inspiration for Pacific's mascot. There had been a tradition of students stealing, hiding and fighting over the original Boxer statue since the early 1900s. In this photograph, probably taken around 1920, it is missing its tail. One leg is also cracked, and a wire can be seen holding it together with the body. This picture appears in an album that was compiled by Sheeley.
