What you’re looking at
This page from the satirical magazine **Judge** contains humor columns, jokes, and advertisements typical of WWI-era American magazines. ## Key Content: **"With the College Wits"** features brief humorous exchanges mocking college life and student behavior—borrowing money, lending textbooks, asking for loans. **"Men of Letters"** includes jokes about writers, including one about a man who borrows a dress suit to take a girl to a dance, and another about a professor who requires students to buy his own textbook. **War-Related Humor**: Several jokes reference WWI context—mentions of "wasting fuel," ordnance corps work, and volunteering for military service. One joke plays on the fact that the German Kaiser and British King were cousins. **Advertisements** dominate the right side: Boston Garter hosiery, Hotel Flanders, Cuticura Soap, and a "Sexology" book. The satire targets predictable targets: absent-minded professors, scheming students, petty bureaucrats—standard magazine fodder. The WWI references ground these jokes in 1918 specifically.
