What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a college humor section spoofing Rudyard Kipling's poem "Danny Deever." The satire mimics Kipling's style to mock unprepared Yale students facing academic consequences. The joke: A "Blase Senior" describes flunking students who haven't studied in weeks, with darkly comic imagery of death watches and doomed souls—treating academic failure as execution. References include cramming before exams, poor grades (D's and 2.20 GPAs), and the metaphorical "Death Watch" sitting in judgment. The humor plays on the contrast between Kipling's poem about a soldier's execution and college life, suggesting exam flunking feels as serious and inevitable as the poem's grim subject. Other college jokes follow (a telephone operator's pun, students' financial complaints to parents). The bulk of the page comprises advertisements—notably a prominent Budweiser ad featuring an eagle, plus tobacco remedies and paper warehouse notices—typical of Judge magazine's revenue model.

A hand has written on the wall the legend, ‘Get the hook,’ And they’re flunking Danny Deever in the morning.’” “What's that so black against the sky?’’ asked Sister-on-Parade. “Alumni Hall, Alumni Hall,"’ the Blase Senior said. “And what's the mournful sound I hear?’’ asked Sister-on-Parade. “The cry of souls forever d——,’’ the Blase Senior said. | “The Death Watch sits in solemn state | within that ancient hall, The student has discovered that he’s not prepared at all. He got a D at Christmas time, two- twenty in the fall, | And they’re flunking Danny Deever in the morning."’ —Yale Record.
