...raised platform at one end, on which the Professor stood, and the walls were adorned with prints of ancient and modern athletes. There were Herr Milo, of Croton, the renowned deadweight lifter; M. Dares and P. Entellus, as they stood in the ring on the 12th of April, 1182 B. C., drawn by P. Virgil Maro, "Clipper" correspondent; Professor Socrates, in his great standing feat; portraits of Mr. Aristotle, Mr. Leibnitz, and Mr. Kant, all noted boxers...

For instance...
...Yale Lit. for April has been received. In accordance with its custom of publishing in every number a love or ghost story, it furnishes this time one of the former class, "That Freshman," better than the average which are published in its columns, although open to much censure.
