EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1893 showcases a mischievous prank played by the "Wicked Boys" of Wasburn, Kansas College on their female counterparts. The image captures an intriguing moment in late 19th-century American college life, where young men took pleasure in playing tricks on the pretty female students. In this particular scene, we see a group of male students hiding the skirts of unsuspecting girls. Their playful antics are depicted with great detail and skill in this wood engraving from the Police Gazette. The expressions on both the boys' faces and those of their targets reveal a mix of amusement and surprise. The setting appears to be inside a dormitory or university building, adding an element of intimacy to the scene. This glimpse into daily life at Washburn University offers us insight into how pranks were used as forms of entertainment during that era. While it is important to acknowledge that such pranks may not be seen as appropriate today, this historical print serves as a reminder of how social dynamics have evolved over time. It also highlights the unique experiences and challenges faced by women attending college during this period. Overall, this wood engraving provides us with a fascinating window into an aspect of student life in late 19th-century America while showcasing the artistic talent captured by The Granger Collection.
