This black and white photograph was taken as part of the 1955 Eureka College Homecoming festivities. This Homecoming was exceptionally notable due to the visit of Ronald Reagan, who was working as a actor in Hollywood at the time.

This photograph shows Ronald Reagan in a room located at Eureka College. Ronald Reagan stands and shakes hands with a man while a woman looks on. Behind the man is a large rectangular window open to the concession stand area of the gymnasium. In the left hand corner in the back are two attendees who engage in conversation. The identities of those, except Ronald Reagan, are unknown.
