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 2025 the Maxwell Library undertook an extensive digitization project. This involved re-digitizing all of the Comments in the collection, as well as digitizing the issues that had been acquired to fill in collection gaps over the past fifteen years. University Archives has nearly a complete run of The Comment dating back to its first issue in 1927. For the first time ever, this extensive collection is now completely accessible digitally. Many BSU student interns have been involved with the project, which could not have been done without their support.
