This little wooden statue originated in a World War I prisoner of war camp in Germany. The faint, penciled, inscription indicates that it was sent to L. N. Flint, Alumni Secretary, by Conrad Hoffman at the camp in 1917.
The fighting Jayhawk of 1929 was commissioned by the Jayhawk Club of Kansas City, and alumni organization. It was drawn by Macclay Lyon, the son of the club's secretary.
