What you’re looking at
This page features humor pieces from college publications rather than political cartoons. The central content is "With The College Wits," a collection of brief jokes reprinted from university magazines (Yale Record, Stanford Chaparral, Michigan Gargoyle, etc.). The jokes target college-life stereotypes: romantic rejection, shallow vanity, landlady encounters, and student poverty. One example: a man who once wrote love letters to "Annabelle" now writes to "Flo" because Annabelle rejected him. Another satirizes female superficiality—a woman finds an ugly man attractive solely because he's looking at her. The page is primarily **advertising**: Great Western Champagne, Pebbleford Kentucky Bourbon, Romeike Press Clipping Bureau, and a "Studio of Pictorial Art" correspondence course dominate the layout. These ads suggest the magazine's affluent readership. The humor reflects early 20th-century college culture and gender attitudes now dated and problematic, but the satire targets universal human foibles—vanity, rejection, and financial struggle—that remain recognizable to modern readers.
