What you’re looking at
This page collects humorous quotes and jokes from college newspapers and other sources, organized under the heading "Leaders." The content reflects early 20th-century social humor. The satire targets contemporary attitudes about gender and courtship: jokes mock women's drinking habits ("gets her liquor from a boot-legger"), their modesty as deceptive, and dating dynamics (the trolley joke implies modest girls are valuable). One cartoon depicts a barber removing dandruff, captioned as "the easiest way"—a crude visual joke about shaving a bald man's head. Historical references include a 1624 note about Native Americans selling Manhattan Island for whisky, positioning Native Americans as foolish, and a 1924 reference to citizens wanting to "swap back" the island (Amherst Lord Jeff), suggesting buyer's remorse about urban development. The "Broken Bones" section quotes a cow, adding absurdist humor. Overall, the page reflects period attitudes about class, gender, and Native Americans that would be considered offensive today.
