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 standing in front of a Eureka College bell with three other men. Reagan stands on its concrete base and looks to the right of the camera. The gentleman standing next to him on the base faces his body towards Reagan, but his head and his gaze looks towards the camera. The man behind Reagan looks straight towards the camera while the man pictured on the right side faces away from the camera to the left. The identities of the other three men is unknown.
