Excerpt: George Fox University (GFU) is a Christian university of liberal arts and sciences, and professional studies located in Newberg, Oregon, United States. Founded as a school for Quakers in 1885, the private school has more than 3,500 students combined between its main campus in Newberg and its centers in Portland, Salem, Redmond and Boise. Graduate studies include psychology, business, education, counseling, physical therapy and seminary. The 108-acre (0.44 km) main campus is located near downtown Newberg, near the junction of Oregon Route 99W and Oregon Route 219. George Fox competes athletically at the NCAA Division III in the Northwest Conference as the Bruins. The school colors are navy blue and old gold.

The cub's mother had been shot and a student from Pacific Academy found the young bear and brought it back to campus. Years later, the bear hide became an unofficial mascot for the senior class and other students often attempted to steal it away. After the hide deteriorated, a leather replica was created and called Bruin Jr. Students today still participate in student-government-sponsored class competitions called "Bruin brawls" for possession of the Bruin Jr. In 1893, the school was incorporated as a joint-stock company and became a four-year school in 1925. Herbert Hoover's uncle Dr. H. J. Minthorn served as the school's first president, and Hoover was an early student at the academy. The school's name was changed to George Fox College in 1949 to honor George Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement. From 1991 to 2010, George Fox provided each traditional undergraduate student with a computer. In 1996, the college merged with
