What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine contains humorous college humor and social satire typical of early 20th-century American publications. **"How to Play Golf"** mocks golf etiquette by sarcastically advising cheating and poor sportsmanship—throwing the ball when unobserved, disputing scores, and boring others with inflated shot counts. **"With the College Wits"** is a collection of jokes from college humor magazines (Penn State, Princeton, Dartmouth, etc.). These include: - A child smoking cigarettes, defended by claiming habituation - A cynical broke young man hoping poverty proves a girl loves him for himself (while needing her money to support them) - Flirting exchanges and dating jokes about "cutting in" at dances - Wordplay on "molecules" misheard as "monocles" The satire targets college social pretension, male romantic cynicism, and courtship rituals. The cartoons show exaggerated figures embodying these stereotypes. Overall, the page reflects 1920s-era college culture's emphasis on wit, social climbing, and romantic conquest.
