What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine features light collegiate humor and advertisements. The "College Wits" section contains short, witty jokes and poems from various college publications, typical of early 20th-century student humor. These are genteel observations about romance (a cold room making a couple cozy), social awkwardness, and courtship—reflecting period attitudes about gender and propriety. The scattered jokes reference World War I ("German Powers will win the war"), aviation as a new, dangerous pursuit, and the 1910 U.S. Census ("twenty-two million women"). The humor is mild and nostalgic ("Home, Sweet Home"). The advertisements—for Hotel Walton (Philadelphia), White Rock mineral water, and Romeike's Press Clipping Bureau—reflect contemporary consumer and business services. There's no sharp political satire here; rather, this is mainstream magazine filler combining collegiate wit with commercial promotion typical of the era.
