What you’re looking at
This page collects brief jokes and witticisms from college humor magazines, organized under the heading "Leaders." The content reflects early 20th-century collegiate humor targeting common social situations: mishearing, domestic disputes, misunderstandings about colonial peoples, and wordplay. Notable elements include a joke about a Klansman that presents the KKK member as subject to law enforcement—suggesting the constable represents legitimate authority asserting control over the Klansman's activities. A "milk condensing" joke plays on editorial brevity. Several jokes rely on racist stereotypes about Samoa and references to "black ladies' hose" (hosiery). The illustrations include a couple in formal dress (top right) captioned "Brown Jug," and a bottom cartoon about fuel economy with innuendo about alcohol ("what's in the gallon"). The page primarily showcases collegiate wit rather than explicit political commentary, though the Klan reference reflects contemporary anxieties about vigilante violence during Prohibition.
