What you’re looking at
This page from **Judge** (a satirical weekly) contains mostly **short humorous quips** from college publications, plus **period advertisements**. ## The Humor Section ("With The College Wits") These are brief, mostly mild jokes about courtship and daily life: - Young men making excuses to see girlfriends - A play on "lay" (the hen's egg vs. a song) - Puns about fishing/flirting ("hook you") - A medical student joke about faking illness The "Graft" item is the sharpest satire—it mocks **state government corruption**, suggesting officials inflate building costs to pocket the difference. ## Advertisements The page features hotel and brewery ads typical of early 20th-century **Judge** content: - **Budweiser** emphasizes German hops (appealing to Bohemian/German-American readers) - Two modest New York hotels offering rooms at $1–$3/day **Overall**: This is a lighthearted entertainment page with gentle college humor and commercial ads—nothing politically charged by modern standards.
