What you’re looking at
This Judge magazine page contains two distinct elements: **Left side: "College Wits"** — A collection of brief satirical jokes about college students and professors, mocking academic pretension and student behavior. Examples include jokes about Philadelphia students, misunderstanding Keats, a student facing legal trouble, and miscommunication between fathers and sons. These represent typical early-20th-century collegiate humor. **Right side: Schlitz Beer advertisement** — A major commercial advertisement claiming that Schlitz brown bottles protect beer from developing a "skunky" taste caused by light exposure. The ad emphasizes that the beer is brewed in darkness, filtered through white wood pulp, and pasteurized for purity. The page also includes a smaller ad at bottom promoting a mail-order course in showcard and sign writing. This is primarily an **advertising-heavy magazine page** with padding of college humor to fill space — typical of Judge's format mixing satire with commercial content. The Schlitz ad dominates the page's real estate and intent.
