First OU Homecoming Born From Man Shortage in 1921
Ohio University launched its first Homecoming in 1921, spurred by a male shortage under President Elmer Bryan to boost athletics. The November 3 game beat Cincinnati 7 to 8, drawing over 2,000 alumni and 300 rooters, with Dad's Day linked to the event. The early era featured minimal parades and floats, then introduced the first moving pictures, the first float parade, and a growing tradition despite rain and evolving festivities.
