Comments and Context
Puck does take note of the autumn ritual that is the opening of the college year. Cartoonist L. M. Glackens employs reasonable cynicism by choosing to address entrance tests and ignore academic potential, specialized aptitude, and chosen fields of study. Instead he depicts the popular cliches about some students at some colleges — beer, cigarettes, and sports.
