Description
A photograph of two Pacific University students dressed in funny hats. The caption with the photograph identifies the students as Verle Stanley and Thomas Fowler. According to the caption, the pair were in possession of the Boxer mascot and his tail during World War I. Stanley had his head and body, when he was called-up to fight during World War I. He hid Boxer in a flour bin at Mrs. Brown's house on the Pacific University campus. Fowler had Boxer's tail. He took the tail with him when he was called-up. The two pieces were reunited when Stanley and Fowler returned to Pacific University after the war ended in November, 1918.
