At the University of Missouri, we take particular pride in our Homecoming heritage. Mizzou is recognized as the birthplace of the Homecoming tradition and the site of one of the largest student-run Homecoming celebrations in the U.S. In 2011, we mark our 100th Homecoming. Wherever you are, come back to Mizzou, Tigers. Help us celebrate a century of coming home.

So many faces I recognize, from Barbara Goode, freshman maid in the Homecoming Court in 1948; to the fabulous Marching Mizzou major Warren Bass; to several Homecoming Queens and one Miss America! This wonderful video in six minutes raises the entire feeling of Columbia at Homecoming time, any year, every year.--Wayne Brasler, '62, Chicago
