This is a humor compilation page from Judge featuring college-themed jokes and cartoons typical of early 20th-century American satirical magazines. **Main content:** - **"The Cheer"** illustration shows a cheerleader, representing campus spirit and athletics - Multiple brief jokes about college life: fraternity borrowing, Jewish characters in a shipwreck joke, Princeton education mockery - A cartoon showing academic progression (Freshman through Senior), illustrating how students change over four years, ending with a graduate—likely commenting on education's transformative (or corrupting) effect - Jokes about relationships, drinking, and women's appearances (the "Ruth/Muriel" joke about weight gain) - References to Harvard and Dartmouth sports culture - The final caption "Bring on your Fundamentalists!" appears to reference contemporary religious/educational debates **The satire targets:** college students' behavior, pretentious education, romantic disillusionment, and drinking culture—standard Judge magazine fare for college-age readers. The ethnic humor reflects period attitudes (now considered offensive).
