This satirical page mocks college social trends of its era with the heading "This Is What Modern Collegians Laugh At." The five cartoons ridicule fashions and behaviors: 1. **"The Hot Sport"** - A man in formal attire with umbrellas, likely satirizing an affected or pretentious college style 2. **"The Pair Co-ed"** - A woman holding a Utah pennant, mocking female college students 3. **"The Old Hooch"** - A man at a table with bottles, referencing Prohibition-era drinking on campus 4. **"The Coiffure (Female)" and "(Male)"** - Exaggerated hairstyles, with the male version showing a large "Y" shape, satirizing contemporary hair fashions The page targets what the magazine considered absurd modern college culture—excessive drinking despite Prohibition, fashionable pretension, and particularly ridiculous hairstyles among both sexes.
