From The Indianapolis News, Saturday, October 17, 1925: Butler College campus had a festive appearance today for home-coming celebrations. Fraternity and sorority houses were decorated in blue and white and Irwin Field, scene of the football contest between Franklin College and the Bulldogs was bedecked with colors of both schools. For the first time in recent years, no downtown parade was planned on home-coming day. The alumni met in the chapel and then went in as a body to the athletic field where a special section had been reserved in the center of the east bleachers. The “howling hundred” student cheering unit rooted during the game and stunts were performed between halves. Campus organizations held smokers and mixers in their house after the game. An evening dance at the Irvington Lodge ended the day’s events. There wasn’t a bonfire this year.
