What you’re looking at

This Judge page combines college humor with corporate advertising. The left side features brief satirical jokes from various college publications—poking fun at freshman behavior, romantic mercenary motives, and academic absurdities. These are gentle jabs at college life conventions (singing hymns to drown out seniors, using razors on sardine cans). The right side is an AT&T advertisement comparing telephone systems to electrical generators. It uses engineering metaphors to suggest Bell Telephones are the "exciter" or vital energizing force for modern business and commerce—portraying the company as essential infrastructure rather than mere utility. The bottom advertises playing cards from Cincinnati, marketed for "social play" and "general play." The page reflects early 20th-century attitudes: optimism about technology and business, college life as privileged and somewhat frivolous, and corporate self-promotion disguised as public service messaging.

ON SINGING HYMNS In chapel, sing with lusty shout, With zeal and adoration.

The Energizer of Business Ik a metropolitan power-house there must be generators large enough to fumish millions of lights and provide electrical cur- rent for thousands of cars and factories. Each monster machine with the power of tens of thousands of horses is energized by an unobtrusive Tittle dynamo, which is technically known as an “exciter.” This exciter by its electric im- pulse through all the coils of the generator bringsthe wholemech- anism into life and activity. A similar service is performed for the great agencies of business and indus ie the telephones of the Bell System. They carry the currents of communication everywhere to energize our intricate social and business mechanism.
