What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* combines editorial content with period advertising. The main material consists of college humor reprints—jokes from university publications like *Michigan Gargoyle*, *Columbia Jester*, and *Stanford Chaparral*—poking fun at student life: procrastination, feigned intelligence to escape jury duty, wealthy students pretending to work their way through college, and romantic rivalries. One notable piece, "Strategy," depicts two boys (Hans and Fritz—German names reflecting WWI-era sensibilities) scheming to check an overcoat without paying by pretending to find it later, satirizing petty dishonesty. The advertisements reflect early 20th-century consumer goods: Pears' Soap, a Piedmont Red Cedar Chest, La Follette's Progressive Weekly magazine, and diamond rings sold on credit. These ads reveal contemporary commerce and values rather than satirical content. **Context for modern readers:** This represents how *Judge* mixed collegiate satire with consumer advertising—typical magazine structure of the era.

Strategy—Hans and Fritz, two small boys, had gone to the rink to skate. Hans’s overcoat hampered him and he wanted to get rid of it. The German coatroom person does not check your coat unless you pay your fee. The fee was only a penny, but Hans did not have the penny. He was at a loss. Huh, it’s dead easy !’’ spoke up Fritz. “Give me your overcoat. I'll take it to the man at the checking place and say I found it. He'll put it away. When you are ready to go home, you go to him and ask if anybody has turned a lost overcoat in to him. Then, of course, you'll get yours.'’"—New York Evening Post.
