The Thief
Le Voleur is French for the Thief. In 1828, during the birth and rise of the newspaper, Emile de Girardin had a novel idea on how to use the newest writing technology, the printing press. He and a friend decided to start a periodical, but since they lacked capital, the weekly was entitled Le Voleur (The Thief) and it reprinted the best articles that had appeared elsewhere during the week, saving editorial costs.

ILLIno1s
Bounce, bounce down the court
Playing a game at an Illini fort
Millions of eyes on each shot
Wondering if we will win or not
Orange and blue, the arena gleams
Bragging as one of the top teams
Regarding our fate, we are certainly not insecure
The National Championship, we will procure.
