The University of Missouri de
clares it founded homecoming in
1911. The university had an ongo
ing football tradition of playing the
University of Kansas in Kansas
City, Mo. In 1911, a conference reg
ulation change came about requir
ing intercollegiate football games
to be played on collegiate campus
es. Missouri coach Chester L.
Brewer feared attendance would
be low and made a plea for Mis
souri alumni to “come on home.”
Missouri alumni from all over the
country made the trek to Columbia
to join students in cheering on the
Tigers. Coach Brewer’s cry for sup
port was positively received, with
Missouri fans filling 10,000 seats at
Rollins Field to see the Tigers tie
Kansas, 3-3.
Tood Coleman, the executive di
rector of the University of Mis
souri’s Alumni Association, said
the homecoming phenomenon at
Missouri brought a sense of unity
to. the school.
“Homecoming is in honor of
celebrating the past and the future
traditions of the university,” Cole
man said. “It’s about recalling
memories and making new ones.”
Keeping the homecoming tradi
tion alive today is a substantial pri
ority for the University of Missouri.
“Homecoming shows a sense of
belonging,” Coleman said.
Homecoming for the University
of Missouri is a ten-day event where
the university participates in com
munity service and volunteers in
providing reading programs for lo
cal schools. Missouri also features a
traditional parade in which atten
dance can reach 20,000 people.
The University of Missouri is
not the only school to lay claim to
starting the homecoming tradition.
The University of Illinois makes its
own assertions. Vanessa Faurie,
the University of Illinois’ vice
president for corporate communi
cations and editor of the universi
ty’s alumni publication, said the
University of Illinois is “one of the
first to start homecoming.”
“Homecoming gave alumni a
reason to come back,” said Faurie.
The University of Illinois makes
the case that homecoming was start
ed by two of its students, Elmer Ek
blaw and C.F. Williams, on Oct. 15,
1910. These two students envi
sioned creating a “super reunion.”
The pair “conceived of an idea
in 1910 to start homecoming in or
der to bring together alumni at the
University of Illinois,” Faurie said.
The football game between the
University of Illinois and Universi
ty of Chicago was the perfect back
drop for alumni and students to
congregate. The University of Illi
nois’ inaugural homecoming was
especially memorable because it
was the first time Illinois had de
feated the University of Chicago in
nine years, and the victory was
sweetened by the creation of the
first “cheering section” composed
of Illinois fans. The game ended 3
0 in favor of Illinois.
Homecoming activities at the
University of Illinois were not lim
ited to just the football game. The
university’s homecoming also in
cluded a dinner, a dance and vari
ous functions.
Despite the disparity, alumni
and students from both universi
ties agree what a meaningful part
of history homecoming is.
“Homecoming is an opportunity
for alumni to revisit a place that
held special memories for them
and most likely played a major
role in their lives,” Faurie said.
The University of Oregon is keep
ing its own homecoming tradition
alive with its dance and football
game and the support of local stores
around the campus area.
“We’re getting back to home
coming tradition with the dance
and window-decorating on stores
with spirit,” said Mary
Hudzikiewicz,. assistant dean of
the Office of Student Life and Stu
dent Alumni Association adviser.
“Homecoming is an opportunity to
welcome back alumni to celebrate
with current undergraduates.”
Which school rightfully claims
responsibility for beginning colle
giate homecoming involving foot
ball games will forever remain a de
bate. But school unity, pride and
welcoming returning alumni will al
ways be homecoming’s main theme.
