Baylor University

===Homecoming===
The nation's first homecoming celebrations originated at Baylor in November 1909. Not long after, the idea was adopted by the [[University of Illinois]] in 1910, the [[University of Missouri]] in 1911, and at universities throughout the U.S. in the years that followed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.active.com/football/articles/the-history-of-homecoming-871285 |title=The History of Homecoming |publisher=Active |date=May 19, 2012 |access-date=December 8, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109180206/http://www.active.com/football/articles/the-history-of-homecoming-871285 |archive-date=January 9, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.baylor.edu/homecoming/index.php?id=73724 |title=Baylor University &#124; Homecoming &#124; History |publisher=Baylor.edu |date=January 21, 2011 |access-date=December 8, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131208190212/http://www.baylor.edu/homecoming/index.php?id=73724 |archive-date=December 8, 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The Baylor Homecoming event began as a way to reconnect alumni with current students but has now grown to include a football game, bonfire, concerts, speeches, receptions, class reunions, pep rallies, and the nation's oldest and longest collegiate parade.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.baylor.edu/mediacommunications/news.php?action=story&story=133623 |title=Baylor University &#124; Media Communications &#124; News |publisher=Baylor.edu |date=October 8, 2013 |access-date=December 8, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131208050358/http://www.baylor.edu/mediacommunications/news.php?action=story&story=133623 |archive-date=December 8, 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref>
