Nothing new under the sun

Just before graduation, students are surveyed about their experiece at the institution of higher learning. Students speak the truth- sometimes in love, sometimes not so kindly.

At the turn of the twentieth century graduating seniors published the discussions - Don't look for honey in the pages of the Bumble Bee. In five issues, appearing from 1889 to 1902, graduating students at the University of Georgia departed with a few last stings of vicious satire aimed at UGA faculty and administration. Whether its pages are filled with base libel or grains of truth, it certainly lives up to the wordplay of its slogan, "We sting where we light. We light often."

You can find the newspapers in the Digital Library of Georgia - search for Bumble Bee.
