Judge — July 17, 1915 — page 23: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine consists primarily of **college humor** and **advertisements** rather than political satire. The "With the College Wits" section collects humorous quips from various college publications (Illinois Siren, Harvard Lampoon, Yale Record, etc.). These jokes mock college life: a narrow escape from a "wild cannibal Igorotte" at a county fair; a girlfriend displaying a suitor's photograph only to hide a rival's before he arrives; a woman using a hairpin as a shoe button; a girl claiming to diet while contradicting herself through impulsive behavior; and a woman demanding a suitor "go to par" (golf terminology applied to romance). The humor targets predictable college social dynamics—dating competition, female vanity, and romantic maneuvering—typical of 1910s-era collegiate satire. The page is otherwise dominated by **period advertisements**: the Hotel Imperial in Manhattan, Egyptian Deities cigarettes, and L. Basch & Co. diamonds. These occupy roughly half the page space. No significant political content appears here.

ius Dh ened With the College Wits Beating the Bushers You may chant your charming carols about golfing on the green, Knocking pills from hole to hole and get- ting binged upon the bean; You may chortle, croon and crow how you made the last in three— How you bunked around the bunker and you lifted from the tee.
