What you’re looking at
This page collects short humorous anecdotes and jokes from college life, presented as a contest for readers to submit their own witty college observations. The cartoons illustrate typical college social scenarios. The two illustrated panels show: **(left)** men in formal wear at what appears to be a social gathering or dance, and **(right)** men in tuxedos dancing together or in close physical contact, likely depicting comedic misunderstandings or awkward social situations. The accompanying jokes mock college life stereotypes: the intellectually pretentious professor nobody understands, dating mishaps, prohibition-era "near-beer," and relationship drama. References to "Bolshevistually Speaking" suggest post-WWI anxieties about radical politics infiltrating academia. The humor is gentle, focused on romantic entanglements and social awkwardness rather than sharp political satire—typical of Judge's lighter collegiate humor section aimed at educated, upper-class readers of the era.
