 | | Though homecoming was canceled in 1918, when an influenza epidemic was raging, and the location was changed in 1944 to save gasoline for the war effort, this Tiger tradition continues to thrive today. |
 | | After the former students were registered, the celebration began with open house receptions, luncheons, dinners, concerts, mass meetings, dances, parades, plays, class reunions, and, often, dedications or the laying of cornerstones of new MU facilities, such as the Memorial Tower and the Memorial Stadium. |
