Pacific University satirical student newspapers collection
Scope and Contents
This collection includes five issues of "The Would Be" (1898), one issue of "Wise and Otherwise" (1898?), one issue of "The Battleaxe" (1900) and one issue beginning with the line, "These do not stand for bees in your bonnet" (circa 1900).
