What you’re looking at
This page contains college humor from circa 1920-31, featuring satirical quips and cartoons by university students. Key content includes: **"Princeton, the New Summer Resort"**: A joke about a student staying at Princeton for summer session rather than traveling to Europe, praising the local liquor in Trenton—likely mocking Prohibition-era constraints and the appeal of easily accessible alcohol. **"Sign in a Restaurant"**: Satirizes Prohibition enforcement by depicting a notice asking patrons not to bring liquor, framed as preventing embarrassment to other guests who "have been unable to secure any"—the joke being that no one can legally obtain alcohol anyway. **The bacteriologist cartoon**: A pun-based joke where one scientist announces discovering a germ, and the colleague responds "don't bacilli!"—a wordplay on the bacterial term *bacillus*. **"Old Mother Heflin"**: References Senator Thomas Heflin (likely), suggesting his arrival at the Senate embarrasses colleagues. The page reflects 1920s college culture: anti-Prohibition sentiment, scientific humor, and political satire aimed at collegiate readers.
