**Main Content: "Hazing"** The top illustration shows a skier labeled "EDITORIAL" performing on slopes, satirizing a college judge's recent ruling against hazing at a Western college. The article argues that abolishing hazing removes a character-building element from male education, suggesting women lack the "roughness" to benefit from such treatment. **Subtext**: The piece reflects early 20th-century gender attitudes, claiming women's "refining influence" makes them unsuitable for hazing's supposed educational value. The author defends hazing as legitimate institutional practice. **Secondary Content**: "Grim Humor Indeed" discusses wartime humor in newspapers, referencing military camps and exotic animals used in WWI operations. **Bottom**: A decorative footer illustration titled "The Old Oaken Bucket" appears to be filler artwork. The page exemplifies period attitudes toward gender, education, and institutional traditions now widely rejected.

There has been no intelligence of other col- leges falling into line on this question. Colleges in which young women en- joy the same advantages as young men would seem to be superior to the rough usage of fresh students, on the theory that any institution or activity in which woman participates should show the refining influence of the gen- tler sex. Of course there are some tokens in modern life that what al- ways will be called the fair s longer the gentler, And to bear out the legitimacy of hazing as a time-honored institution, or to indicate that young women in educational association with young men take on some characteristics of young men, how comes a lawsuit in operation at Lafayette, Ind., young woman formerly a student in Perdue University has sued seven other young women students for so hazing her that she was forced to go home and abandon her studie All the defendant young women did to the plaintiff young woman was to enter her pins in her, paint her face with red ink, disrobe her and throw her into a bathtub filled with cold water.

But even the humor that the conflict devel- ops relates to the sinister character of the whole terrible struggle. Without a redeem- ing feature, war makes against civilization and all well-being in unce inted ways. People in regions remote from the of carnage—and there are few such regions in the civilized world—cannot yet realize the stupendous interests involved.

A great military camp is situated in the desert where ancient hosts gathered. Tent towns have sprung up, and camels, automobiles, gun carriages, donkeys, motors and motor cycles mingle in this strange war assembly.
