What you’re looking at
This page is a collection of brief jokes and witticisms culled from college and university humor publications, arranged around pen-and-ink illustrations. The cartoons show social scenarios typical of early 20th-century college life: a lingering goodbye between dating couples, a formal couple discussing fashion, and an illustration of a bride in colorful attire. The jokes satirize college students' pretensions and behaviors—their attempts at philosophical discourse, romantic entanglements, fashion concerns, and social awkwardness. References to specific colleges (Yale, Pitt, Princeton, Vassar, Wellesley) indicate these were competitive humor publications. One joke mocks drunk behavior; another pokes fun at an "Apache dancer" (a style of risqué entertainment popular in Paris). The overall tone is light mockery of young people's social ambitions and romantic mishaps rather than serious political satire. This appears to be filler content typical of Judge's editorial approach.
