This is a collection of college humor jokes and cartoons from Judge magazine, likely from the 1920s Prohibition era. The page's title frames these as witty observations from various college publications. **Key themes:** - **Drinking culture**: Multiple jokes reference alcohol consumption at fraternities and colleges, with one joke about a professor admitting the school can't find enough liquor for faculty—satirizing how commonplace drinking was despite Prohibition. - **Fraternity hazing**: One joke mocks initiation rituals requiring pledges to drink whisky and perform degrading acts ("moo, like a cow"). - **Bootleggers**: A cartoon references missing "connections with their bootlegger," normalizing illegal alcohol procurement during Prohibition. - **Dating/gender dynamics**: Several jokes mock women as intellectually inferior or overeager for physical affection. The page's satire targets college social excess, hypocrisy around Prohibition enforcement, and era-specific gender attitudes. These were attributed to different college newspapers ("Georgia Tech. Yellow Jacket," "Pitt Panther," etc.), suggesting syndicated collegiate humor.
