Title

Boxer at the Class of 1902 Annual Banquet, 1899

Description

Nine Pacific University students (8 male, 1 female) holding large canes seated around a banquet table. "Boxer," a Chinese bronze statue of a qilin that would later become Pacific University's mascot, sits in a place of honor on the end of the table. Various banners are hanging behind the students which read '1903' and 'PU 02'. 'Annual Banquet' is written on the end of the table. This banquet probably took place in November 1899 when members of the Class of 1902 were sophomores. It was the first time that students displayed Boxer after having stolen him as a prank in October 1899.
