Howard Homecoming: 100 Years in the Making

Back in 1924, a Hilltop writer waxed poetically about the unfolding beauty of the new occasion in an editorial entitled “Welcome Home Old Grads.”

“No romance is more enchanting than the return of children to the family fireside, where old acquaintances are renewed and memories of bygone days are refreshed amid familiar environments,” the editorial reads. “Forgotten friendships are awakened and stirred with a new intensity; the students of the present in noisy acclaim to Alma Mater, catch the echo of the shouts that have gone before. Graduates and students merge into one."
