What you’re looking at
This page collects brief jokes and comic vignettes typical of early 20th-century college humor magazines. Most content relies on wordplay and social observation rather than political satire. Notable items include a crude racial joke ("Virginia Reel") using a period slur, playing on the Ku Klux Klan—reflecting the casual racism of the era. A "doctor" joke recommends whale meat as brain food. College-oriented humor appears throughout: references to specific universities (Rutgers, Toronto, Minnesota, Yale, Pittsburgh), dating anxieties ("The Eternal Triangle"), and campus life (a waiter mixing up sandwich orders). One cartoon shows a family group labeled "The Eternal Triangle"—likely satirizing triangular relationship drama common in period fiction and social gossip. The illustrations are simple line drawings accompanying brief attributed quips from various college publications, designed for quick laughs rather than sustained satire. The content reflects casual period attitudes that would be considered offensive today.
