What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* contains student humor submissions—jokes and cartoons submitted by college students from universities across America (Georgetown, Harvard, Pittsburgh, etc.). The content reflects 1920s-early 1930s college life: academic struggles (failing exams, "loafers"), dating and courtship rituals, automobile culture, and domestic situations. One cartoon depicts a man's lawn being destroyed by a motorist—a topical concern as automobiles became commonplace. The jokes employ typical collegiate humor of the era: wordplay (a Latin student confuses Pegasus with a literal horse), physical comedy (a woman struggling with luggage), and marital/dating mishaps. The final submission humorously addresses infidelity with the advice to "light a Murad" cigarette—a period product placement disguised as nonchalant advice. The satire here targets not politics but rather college culture itself—student pretension, romantic fumbling, and modern conveniences creating unexpected problems. These are lighthearted observations rather than sharp social commentary.
