# Political and Social Satire from Judge Magazine This page compiles humorous college-themed submissions from student writers and cartoonists, circa 1922-1924. The humor reflects early 1920s campus life and social anxieties. Key pieces include satirical takes on Prohibition (a chemistry student testing homemade beer), courtship rituals (the "Night of Prom" depicting flirtation and deception), and academic ennui ("In a College Classroom" portraying lazy, distracted students). "A Fable for Collegians" jokes about engagement anxiety—a young man worries his fiancée will stop loving him after marriage, then realizes they haven't actually married yet, so the anxiety is premature. The absurdist cartoons (submarines, cannons, futuristic inaugurations) appear to be non-sequiturs typical of college humor magazines, where surrealism was fashionable. Overall, the page satirizes student pretensions, romantic confusion, academic disengagement, and the gap between college life's promises and realities.

A Codfish Ball. IN A COLLEGE CLASSROOM By Kevin A. Walsh, St. Louts U. ‘24 ‘THE. schoolbell tolls the knell of parting play, The weary students straggle into class; Professors start things for another day, And give the duds another chance to pass. Now fades the glimmering campus — from their view, And all the quad a deathly si- lence finds, Save where some Freshie gets his daily due, Or drowsy lec tures dull the Seniors’ minds. Save where some ham, some thirty’ minutes late, Steals in and hopes to dodge a watchful eye; Or, such, as slip: « ping out to keep a date, Are caught and get another by and by.
