Ronald Reagan as speaker
		      at 1992 Eureka College Commencement

In 1992, former President Reagan visited his alma mater for the last time. He delivered the commencement address. It was 60 years after his graduation. The color picture shows Reagan standing in a line with three students to his right and two to his left. They are all dressed in traditional black robes worn for graduation. The students wear mortar board with the tassels on the left. Each student wears a wide yellow honorary “hood” around each student’s neck which hangs like a long sash to the waist. President Reagan’s robe has black velvet edged on the front closure from the neck to the floor. There is a yellow, and below it a red, honorary hood around his neck which hangs down his back.
