**College Humor Section**: This collects brief jokes and one-liners from college publications (Judge, Chaparral, Jester, etc.). The humor targets recognizable college stereotypes: naive freshmen, practical jokers, impractical idealists. The "Practical Socialist" joke is typical—the roommate claims socialism while exploiting his friend. Overall, light satire of youthful pretension and hypocrisy. **Main Advertisement**: Leslie's Illustrated Weekly promotes B.C. Forbes' serialized article "The Men Who Are Making America," which apparently was generating significant business interest. Forbes is positioned as an authoritative financial and industrial writer. The ad emphasizes the series as "the greatest history of modern American enterprise"—appealing to businessmen's desire for insider knowledge about industrial leaders like Otto H. Kahn (visible in this week's issue). This appears designed to attract subscriptions by promising business readers access to contemporary industrial analysis.
