What you’re looking at
This page satirizes college life and student behavior during the early 20th century. The header illustration shows undergraduates engaged in various irresponsible antics—drinking ("Hootch"), romance, and general chaos—labeled "Irrepressible, Joyous, Irresponsible." The individual jokes mock typical college scenarios: medical students' laziness, romantic misunderstandings where men feign sympathy to avoid commitment (asking girls to take quinine pills when they're "chilly"), and social pretension. One piece ridicules a woman who bobs her hair but fails at "wrong make-up," suggesting the affectation of modern femininity. The page announces a "College Wits Contest" offering silver cups and publication opportunities for best student submissions. The humor targets undergraduate culture as frivolous, romance-obsessed, and hypocritical—portraying college men as simultaneously pursuing women while dodging genuine emotional involvement.
