Dorothy ("Dottie") Dobyns Generaux, of the Pacific University Class of 1959, posing with "Boxer" in a field by a Chevrolet sedan. This is one of a set of photographs taken in 1957 by a member of Pacific University's Phi Beta Tau fraternity. Members of the fraternity had won the statue and offered to take Dorothy to see it one Sunday, just as she was leaving church. She agreed, and they drove with her to a field near Gales Creek, where she posed with Boxer.|Boxer is a bronze statue in the form of a qilin, which was the inspiration for Pacific University's mascot. There was a tradition of students stealing, hiding and fighting over the original Boxer statue from the early 1900s through the 1960s.
