The Campus Comment started as a student project in a journalism class taught by Miss Olive H. Lovett during the 1927-28 academic year. This student newspaper began publishing regularly the following year. In the fall of 1969 the name was shortened to The Comment, which remains in use today.

Volume and issue numbers have been inconsistent through the years, sometimes incorporating the creative use of roman numerals.

In 2001 the Maxwell Library undertook a digitization project to scan the entire run to date of the Comment. The project did not adhere to then-current digitization standards and all of the digital files would be deemed unacceptable using current standards. However, financial and time constraints have prevented a systematic and comprehensive re-digitization project. In an effort to publish as much content as possible, we are posting the existing PDF versions. Poor-quality files will be replaced and missing issues will be posted as they become available.
