What you’re looking at
This Judge magazine page contains two distinct sections: **Left side: "With the College Wits"** — A humor column collecting jokes from college newspapers (Yale, Stanford, etc.). The jokes target college students' social awkwardness: a couple's physical mismatch on a romantic outing, freshman confusion about church attendance, a tramp from a "fine family," and marital mishaps. The humor relies on wordplay and gentle mockery of collegiate life and courtship customs of the era. **Right side: California tourism advertisement** — A large illustrated ad promoting California's year-round outdoor sports (motoring, racing, polo, golf, ocean activities). The image shows a Native American figure, reflecting period advertising's use of Indigenous imagery as exotic Americana. The ad targets wealthy leisure travelers, emphasizing California's superior infrastructure and climate compared to European alternatives. The page reflects early 20th-century upper-class concerns: dating etiquette, higher education, and leisure tourism for the affluent.
