Object Description

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. Reagan is one of Eureka College's most famous alumni as he attended the school between 1928-1932 before going to find success in California. 

This black and white photograph shows Ronald Reagan at an event in celebration of Eureka College homecoming. He stands behind a table talking to a woman in a crowd of people. The two have in their hands a teacup as if one of them is passing it to the other. The group is engaged in conversation with one another as they enjoy refreshments and drinks. A decorated table is in the foreground which has dinnerware and a large floral centerpiece. In the bottom right hand corner is written "E38".
