What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and humor columns**, typical of Judge magazine's format. The main content includes: **"With the College Wits"** — A humor section featuring short jokes from college publications, mostly playing on wordplay and student life situations (noisy roommates, compromising on fare-splitting, love letters as cushions). These are lighthearted, apolitical observations about college culture and courtship customs of the era. **Advertisements** dominate: Club Cocktails, King George IV Whisky, Kum-A-Part cuff buttons, Old Overholt Rye, White's Rock mineral water, and novelty items. The Prohibition-era context is notable—alcohol ads still appeared in magazines, though Prohibition was enacted in 1920. **No political satire appears here.** The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture and collegiate humor conventions—there are no caricatured political figures or social commentary beyond gentle campus observations. It's essentially a commercial/entertainment page showcasing period advertising and college-newspaper-style jokes.
