What you’re looking at

# "Little Rambles With Serious Thinkers" This page presents satirical quotes attributed to famous figures (Farplay Johnson, Major Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, Cecil B. DeMille, O.O. McIntyre, William Lyon Phelps, Rev. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, George Matthew Adams, H.L. Mencken, and Benito Mussolini). The top cartoon shows fashionable people, captioned "The girl who decided to compromise with the style!" — likely mocking women's fashion choices during an era of changing dress codes. The lower cartoon depicts a hunter presenting dead game, captioned "The big-game hunter finds a ue for his Collegian son" — a joke about unemployed young men from wealthy families being useful only as trophies or burdens. The "In 1970" section is nostalgic commentary on 1930s dining culture and pleasures, written in melancholic retrospect.
