Can a college man be successful in spite of his...

Illustration shows a comic look at how a college education prepares a person for employment later in life; on the right, in a vertical series of six panels, from top to bottom, the most successful students are employed in a variety of menial tasks, while the one considered "such a boob" has the highest position and is now the one who employs the others. On the left, from top to bottom, are vignettes that invite before and after comparisons, for example, the college "yell leader" is now a barker at a sideshow.

Date & Place: New York : Published by Puck Publishing Corporation, 295-309 Lafayette Street, 1914 November 14.
