This page from Judge magazine contains humor columns typical of college-era comedy from the late 1920s-early 1930s. The content includes: **The main cartoons and jokes** are puns and wordplay submitted by college students (credited to various universities). Examples: a joke about horses being "sad" because their lives are full of "wheels and whoas" (pun on "woes"); a coquette defined as a "small-sized coca cola"; wordplay about "maxim silencer" (relating to Socrates's execution). **The illustrated cartoon** (bottom right) shows a woman with puppies and makes a joke about breeding: the puppies are "high bred" because their father was a "skye terrier" (pun on "sky," implying superiority). **The overall tone** is lighthearted, undergraduate humor relying on puns, double meanings, and gentle social observations rather than sharp political satire. This reflects Judge's evolution toward lighter collegiate comedy by this period, contrasting with its earlier reputation as serious political commentary.
