...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...

The plot, of course, is not elaborate, and the characters are not so distinctly drawn as we could wish. Regarding the character of its sentiment, many different opinions are expressed. The chief fault, by no means an unusual one in such compositions, is the fact that the conversation is all carried on in a very stilted style. Two college men, one a Freshman, the other...
