What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine presents a satirical illustration set at Princeton University. The main cartoon depicts well-dressed men and women in early 20th-century attire gathered outdoors, with a building and church spire visible in the background. The accompanying text snippets ("If They're Strangers," "Getting Old," "So Wags the World," "For Revenue Only") appear to be humorous observations about social behavior and courtship, likely poking fun at Princeton students and their romantic entanglements. The illustration's title references Jack and Marguerite, suggesting a specific narrative about university romance or scandal. The cartoon satirizes upper-class social pretension and the romantic dramas of Princeton's privileged student body—a common *Judge* target during this era when such magazines mocked wealthy institutions and their inhabitants' affectations.
