What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine contains college humor and advertisements typical of early 20th-century satire. **The College Wits section** reprints jokes from various college publications (Yale Record, Harvard Lampoon, Dartmouth Jack o'Lantern, etc.). These are mild, pun-based jokes about student life—a boy leaving school early "on principle," wordplay about a girl named "Gabby" and her mysterious appeal, and flirtation scenarios. The humor relies on double meanings and gentle social observations about courtship. **The New Woman's Movement cartoon** satirizes changing gender dynamics: a woman refuses a man's offer of a coat, then later complains of being cold but refuses his help—commenting on women's increasing independence and the confusion this creates for traditional male behavior. **The advertisements** promote Budweiser beer and a show-card writing course, representing commercial products targeting young men and aspiring sign-makers. The overall tone is lighthearted college humor with mild social commentary on modern courtship and women's roles.
