What you’re looking at

This page combines advertisements with humorous content typical of Judge magazine's satirical style. **Advertisements:** The left side features liquor ads (Overholt rye whiskey, Hoffman House hotel, John Jameson whiskey) — common Judge advertising that targeted wealthy male readers. **Main Content — "Those Good Old College Days":** A poem by John Kendrick Bangs celebrating "Van Am" (a Columbia University dean), using repetitive structure to humorously catalog the professor's memorable qualities — his genial nature, sharp eye for cheating students, and ability to help struggling scholars. **"Bill Nye's First Humorous Editorial":** References Bill Barlow as editor of *Bill Nye's Budget*, noting Nye's prominence in American humor journalism and describing an early editorial about a railroad accident. **Short Comic Pieces:** Include mild domestic humor (a young man seeking permission to marry, a father who lent money instead) and sight gags about drowning. The page reflects Judge's focus on genteel, intellectual humor for educated readers rather than slapstick — celebrating academic life and clever wordplay.
