Advent Semester 2017 has brought a lot of change to Sewanee, most notoriously perhaps, the collapse of the Golden Age of Ice Cream as we know it. The McClurg Ice Dream was the talk of the town for so many years, but something revolutionary has happened. VEGAN BLOOD ORANGE SORBET. You’ll see the sharpie writing on the glass everyday, at least once a day. It will see you when you’re sleeping and know when you’re in pain. Cookie dough, butter-pecan and Rocky Road are relics of the past, and The Sewanee Purple Investigation Team™ got to work seeking the truth. This isn’t just an opinion hit-piece about privileged youth’s secondary opinions on dessert. This IS journalism.
