What you’re looking at

This is a **humor and satire page** from Judge magazine, featuring college-themed jokes and advertisements typical of the 1920s era. **Main Content:** The "College Wits" section collects brief humorous observations and witticisms. Most jokes mock romantic interactions, courtship conventions, and student behavior—depicting young men pursuing women through flattery, then mocking them to friends once the moment passes ("Poor fish"). **Key Satirical Targets:** - **Gender dynamics**: Women are portrayed as superficial (obsessed with new gowns, expensive gifts) and men as insincere - **Prohibition era**: References to hiding liquor ("squeezed it outen a mince pie") mock the temperance movement - **WWI aftermath**: A "Bolshevik maiden" joke reflects post-war anxieties about radical politics - **Student life**: Jokes about knitting, fraternity/sorority houses, and romantic disappointments **The humor relies on:** Double meanings, absurdist logic, and cynicism about love and relationships. The tone is lighthearted but notably misogynistic by modern standards, treating women as objects and targets of ridicule. The surrounding advertisements (garters, "Sexual Knowledge" books) reflect period consumer culture.
