What you’re looking at
This page collects humorous one-liners and jokes from college humor magazines, attributed to various university publications (Penn State, Michigan, Yale, etc.). The satire targets college life and social conventions of the era. The jokes mock romance and courtship (a man worried his fiancée's family has "insanity"), gender roles (women choosing drinks at soda fountains), and absurd logic (a bigamist joke playing on definitions). One recurring target is pompous authority—a professor asked about family insanity after his daughter accepts a proposal. The cartoon illustrations show domestic scenes and flirting couples, emphasizing the page's focus on courtship humor. The "cheer leaders" title suggests these quips are meant to entertain college readers. The humor reflects period attitudes about marriage, propriety, and gender that modern readers would recognize as dated—particularly the casual treatment of mental illness and the focus on women's appearance and marriageability.
