Happy Homecoming, Vandals! 💛🖤

To celebrate Homecoming week, we’re throwing it back over a century into the U of I Special Collections archives to look at one of campus’s most fiery early traditions: the annual pep rally bonfires!

Swipe to check out these historic snapshots:

📸 Image 1 (1912): Freshmen gather around the towering bonfire structure before the annual Homecoming game rally. If you look closely at the very top, you’ll spot an essential early-20th-century decorative flourish...an outhouse!

📸 Image 2 (circa 1929): A massive blaze lights up the night as students and spectators look on in awe.

Have a safe, spirited, and wonderful Homecoming weekend! Go Vandals! 🏈🔥
