What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine is primarily **advertising with some humorous college content**. The main feature, "With the College Wits," reprints humorous advice to freshmen from various college publications (Cornell Widow, Yale Record, Stanford Chaparral, Dartmouth Jack o' Lantern). The jokes reference hazing rituals and freshman vulnerability—warnings about seniors demanding money ("Lend me ten dollars, kid") and sophomores playing pranks. The repeated emphasis on keeping "your pants well padded" suggests physical initiation abuse was an expected college experience. The page also contains period product advertisements: Beeman's Pepsin Gum, Behning Player Piano, and Hunter Whiskey. These ads reflect early 20th-century consumer culture aimed at affluent college-educated readers. The "Applied Art" cartoon is a simple decorative figure study, likely filler content. The smaller jokes ("Going at $750," "Stingy") are typical collegiate humor mocking marriage prospects and romantic situations among the wealthy young men who read *Judge*.
