# Judge's College Wits Cup This page is primarily **informational rather than satirical**—it announces a competition, not a political cartoon. The "Judge's College Wits Cup" was a trophy awarded to college humorists producing the best content for *The College Wits Number of Judge* magazine, published May 6th. Additional silver cups were awarded for best Literary Feature and best Art contribution. The text notes the cup was previously won by *The Cornell Widow* (1920) and *The Columbia Jester* (1921). A college that won it three times would keep it permanently. This reflects Judge magazine's role as a platform for collegiate humor publications—a popular literary form in the 1920s. The competition encouraged campus-based satirical writing and art.
