THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
EDITOR'S NOTE
A century full of tradition
One hundred years is a long time for anything to be around. Something I have learned to love about KU is how proud we are of our traditions. Homecoming is one of those. This year we celebrate 100 years of homecoming.
After browsing through archive photos of homecoming, what I came to notice is how big of a deal homecoming queen was. For every photo of a parade or bonfire, there were five photos of the homecoming queen. But the tradition of homecoming queen ended
in 1969 because of racial tensions and a student outcry to stop it. Now that's a story, page 9.
I've learned a lot about homecoming throughout this process, but I have never been. And so my goal this year is to actually see what this homecoming stuff is all
about. So my advice to you is this: Don't miss out on this opportunity to share the traditions of homecoming, new and old. Especially if you are a senior like me, and this is your last chance to experience what homecoming has to offer.
Special thanks to the University of Kansas Spencer Research Library for usage of past homecoming photos.
