Greig,
Welcome Back
This is your day, all you alumni and friends of the Univer
sity. Homecoming is a time specially set aside for your en
joyment.
Many of the Homecoming activities may seem to be de
signed more for students. The noise parade, if you were here
Friday, may have permanently injured your ear drums; you
probably missed the Vodvil show entirely; not many of you
will be kicking up your heels at the dance tonight, although
you are certainly welcome to attend.
But actually, this day is yours. You will be sitting beside
us this afternoon at the game. You will be meeting old friends
and renewing lapsed friendships.
The most important opportunity of Homecoming, for vou,
is the chance to look us over. Even if you graduated only last
spring, you will find many changes on the campus. If you
haven't been back for ten or fifteen years, you may not even
recognize the campus.
The University is growing; it’s going places. And it’s
growing largely through the interest you are willing to show
in your Alma Mater. And we don’t mean merely your dona
tions, though they are certainly appreciated. Other kinds of
help are equally valuable—recruiting future Ducks, talking
up the University among your friends and business acquaint
ances, showing an interest in our graduates.
The very fact that you are on campus today is the greatest
indication of your interest in the University. We are glad
to have you back with us.
Open House Planned
Open house will be observed
in all campus living organiza
tions after the Oregon Wash
ington state college game to
day. Alumni and Homecoming
weekend guests may visit any
of the living organizations

entertainment will be present
ed for guests in many of the
houses.

Homecoming Began in 1914
By Cornelia Fogle
Emerald Feature Writer
Forty years ago the University
of Oregon held its first Home
coming. No one knows where the
idea originated, but it has re
mained. and it is now a Univer
sity tradition.
The 1914 Homecoming bears
little resemblance to the present
ilay version. It was held early
in October, with the football
team playing Whitman and win
ning, 29-3. Saturday evening a
combined party and reception
was held for the guests, and
that was the Homecoming week
end.
The following year the first I
letters were sent out to ulumni, i
and 300 responded. This year
other features were added. A
pajama party was held, as was a
Saturday noon luncheon, with a
dance being the big event on
Saturday evening.
In 1916, vesper services were
added to the weekend, and in
1919, after taking a year out for
World War I and an influenza
epidemic, new features added to
the now traditional weekend
were a parade, stunt show, and
bonfire.
• I
Frosh worked all night the
night before the bonfire in 1921,
until its height reached forty
feet. Then they stood guard over
it to make sure that no prank
sters touched it off. This year a
jazz parade was held which
marched in downtown Eugene.
Oregon girls took yellow and
green balloons to the game in
1925 to add color to the rooting
section, and freshmen tried their
luck with a card trick or two.
The Kappa Sign and Fljis won
the cup in the 1929 noise parade
with their manure spreader. Its j
caption read 'O.A.C. Bandwagon.' |
(O.A.C. is now Oregon slate col
lege.)
Campus coeds cnme into their
own in 1931 when they were al
lowed to join the pep rally,
marching and serpentining into;
downtown Rugene. .Sparklers
were distributed and u bonfire on
Skinner's Butte was lighted as
the noisy rooters marched down
Willamette street.
Iii 1041 n Homecoming hostess
was selected by the football team.
After taking I ho next three yearn
out for World War II, Ihia wan
continued until 1051, when a
Homecoming queen wan selected
by all-campus vote.
Our proHcnt noise parade has
its antecedent* also. It started
out an a jazz parade, then was
changed Into a pajama parade
with students marching down
town In their pajama tops and
ending In a yell contest.
Tho "O," which has been on
Skinner’s Butte for 40 years,
has received over 100 paint John
from freshmen, who protect It
from weather and wandering
Beavers.
