What you’re looking at
This page collects humorous one-liners and jokes from college humor magazines, attributed to various universities (Iowa, Cornell, Texas, Minnesota, etc.). The satire targets college life and social conventions of the era. Key jokes involve: bathing etiquette, gender dynamics (men wanting liquor vs. women wanting romantic attention), academic complaints (eight classes vs. eight hours sleep), changing courtship customs ("they do it oftener" than marrying young), and generational shifts. The cartoon at bottom depicts a chaotic party scene, mocking collegial excess and bad manners (picking up cigarettes from the floor). The "Leaders" header with football imagery suggests these represent the wit of campus leaders and tastemakers. The humor reflects Jazz Age anxieties: changing sexual mores, the "flapper" phenomenon, and perceived moral decline among youth—presented as amusing rather than genuinely alarming.
