What you’re looking at
This page contains college humor and advertisements typical of early 20th-century *Judge* magazine. **"With the College Wits"** presents brief, mild romantic/social comedies from college publications. "The Dear Things" satirizes overwrought breakup dialogue ("How dare you!"). "Winstar" jokes about February being the shortest month. The cartoons show idealized courtship scenarios and a humorous illustration of rolling deuces (dice). **The main advertisement** promotes Nujol, a mineral oil laxative, emphasizing it's safer than harsh cathartics—addressing winter's supposed constipation problem with pseudo-medical authority. The doctor's endorsement and mail-order option were standard marketing tactics of the era. **Remaining college jokes** mock student naiveté (confusing Lincoln's address with Gettysburg's location) and awkward romantic flattery. The **Hotel Marie Antoinette advertisement** offers budget Manhattan lodging. The satire here is gentle—college humor mocking dating rituals and student silliness rather than sharp political commentary. Modern readers should note the casual medical marketing and the assumption that constipation was a serious seasonal concern worth prominent advertising.
