– May 9, 1982 –
Eureka College, a small liberal arts college in central Illinois, was founded by abolitionists and members of the Christian Church in 1855. The College was chartered by an act of the Illinois Legislature on February 6, which is also, coincidentally, Ronald Reagan’s birthdate. At the time of its founding, it was the first college in Illinois and the third in the nation to accept men and women on an equal basis.
Ronald Reagan attended Eureka College from 1928 until his graduation in 1932, where he earned a degree in Economics and Sociology. He was very active during his four years at Eureka College: he played football; participated with the swim team as an athlete, coach, and lifeguard; was a cheerleader for the basketball team; belonged to both a dramatic fraternity and the Tau Kappa Epsilon men’s fraternity; wrote for the campus newspaper, the Pegasus; edited the Prism, the campus yearbook; and served as senior class president.
Following his graduation, Reagan closely associated with his alma mater, serving as commencement speaker and honorary doctor of humane letters degree recipient in 1957, and again in 1982, on the 50th anniversary of his own graduation. He returned to dedicate Melick Library in 1967, and returned in 1970 with his brother Neil to dedicate the Reagan Physical Education Center in 1970. He also served three terms as a college Trustee (1947-1953, 1967-1973, 1974-1980).
Eureka College has proudly celebrated its connection to Ronald Reagan. The Ronald W. Reagan Leadership Program, established by Reagan and the college in 1982, offers scholarships and mentorships to academically gifted students who demonstrate strong leadership potential. The Reagan Museum on Eureka’s campus contains the largest collection of Reagan materials outside of the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, most of which were donated by Reagan. The Mark R. Shenkman Reagan Research Center contains over 800 Reagan-related books, dissertations and movies. Eureka is also home to the Reagan Peace Garden, dedicated by his daughter Maureen in 2000, which features a piece of the Berlin wall, and a bronze bust of the former president emblazoned with a quote from Reagan’s 1982 Commencement Address: “Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with conflict by peaceful means.”
Many of the books in the sale were given by President Reagan to Eureka College in 1988 as Reagan was completing his final year of his presidency.
Appearing throughout in maroon are quotes from Reagan’s diaries, speeches and published works.

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY AMBROSE: “For President Ronald Reagan With respect Sincerely S.E. Ambrose.” American historian Ambrose is best known for his biographies of Presidents Nixon and Eisenhower. Ambrose was the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of War and Peace during the 1970-1971 academic year at Kansas State University, but ultimately left his teaching position after heckling President Nixon during a speech there. Despite his criticism of President Nixon, most consider this biography to be an evenhanded and reliable depiction of President Nixon. According to Ambrose, “history will remember Reagan as the fi rst Cold War president to preside over eight years of unbroken peace… [and] as the president who reversed the decades-old fl ow of power to Washington. By dismantling some federal programs, and reducing others, he forced the states and the cities to assume more responsibility for running their own shows. If he failed to break the Democratic hold on Congress, he did force the Democratic Party to move to the right.”

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY BUCKLEY on slip tipped in: “Ron and … er, ….. uh… ERA! -Affectionately, Bill.” In this collection of essays, Buckley recalls his debate against Governor Reagan over the Panama Canal treaty in January 1978 when the Governor Reagan called Buckley ahead of time to tell him he would be kind to him in the debate “as he would any friend of his suffering temporarily from a minor aberration” and that Reagan did not “in other words, plan to send the Marines after me. Perhaps he is saving them to dispatch to Panama” (p. 229). However, President Reagan and Buckley often agreed on topics. Buckley noted in a 1973 episode of the Firing Line that the lack of support for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was not “by sexist males but by women, many of whom on second blush are discovering in the amendment implications they regard as inimical to the best interests of American women.” Similarly, President Reagan eventually opposed the ERA before announcing his 1976 presidential candidacy, stating: “I do not believe that a simple amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment, is the answer to the problem. I think that it opens a Pandora’s Box, and could in fact militate against the very things that women are asking for.” The ERA was not ratifi ed, despite a disputed extension.

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY BUCKLEY TO THE REAGANS on slip tipped in: “For Ronald and Nancy Reagan -Devotedly, Bill.” From 1966-1999, Buckley hosted Firing Line, the longest-running public affairs show with a single host in American television history. Buckley recounts the time when President Reagan called to congratulate him on the 15th anniversary of Firing Line during the celebrations: “…the (freshly inaugurated) President was on the line, and of course it was a technological fiasco. President Reagan began by greeting me and the program… But the result of the neat little scheme of pushing the telephone up against the mike was that the President couldn’t hear my replies and the audience couldn’t hear his voice, so the colloquy dissolved in a blue of congratulations and reciprocal compliments” (pp. 19-20). The conservativism Buckley championed peaked in the 1980s with the election of President Ronald Reagan, Buckley’s longtime friend. Buckley boasted that “the [National Review] was conceived as a vehicle for responsible thought, and it has been exactly that, playing a not insignifi cant role… in its infl uence on chartersubscriber Ronald Reagan” (p. 29).

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY BUCKLEY: “For Ronald Reagan -With cordial regards, Bill Buckley.” In his introduction, political theorist and conservative Russell Amos Kirk describes Buckley’s “concerted assault on the fallacies of a decadent age” as a “sturdy thread to lead [Americans] through the Minoan labyrinth of political and literary controversy in the times of Eisenhower and Kennedy” (p. 11). In a 1967 interview on Firing Line, Buckley questions then Governor Reagan about whether it is possible to be a good governor when the federal government is so involved in economics. Reagan’s reply summarizes the tenets of Reaganomics: “I know I am accused of oversimplifying, but it doesn’t make sense to me for the federal government to take that money fi rst and insist that the only solution to our local problems is for them to take the money and then they dispense it back to you in grants in which they tell you how to spend it.” Property from the Private Library of President Ronald Reagan, sold to benefi t his alma mater, Eureka College $300 - 400

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY BUCKLEY TO THE REAGANS ON STICKER: “For my Leader and Nancy, -Ever, Affectionately- Bill.” While Buckley’s close friendship and gift of this book to the Reagans hints at his respect for them, Buckley did not refrain from criticizing President Reagan in this work. For example, he stated that “Mr. Reagan has been a remarkably unprovocative President” in relation to the Soviet Union, despite increasing the military budget and being vocal about the errors with the cold war enemy (p. 60). Buckley covers a wide range of topics related to the Reagan Administration, including tensions with the Soviet Union, Reaganomics (and its failings), and media relations.

His sentiments are echoed by contributors throughout. As a prolifi c author and political commentator, Buckley signifi cantly contributed to the rise of Conservativism in America, and offered many views on President Reagan over the years: “No previous President has stressed as much as Ronald Reagan the possibility and importance of changing society by changing the tax code” (p. 232).

Logsdon, “Ronald Reagan and the Space Frontier,” 2019).

In Reagan’s 1982 Commencement Address at Eureka College, he recalled: “Now, I know there are differences between the Eureka College of 1932 and the Eureka of 1982, but I’m also sure that in many ways -- important ways -- Eureka remains the same….So, take my word for it. As the years go by, you’ll be amazed at how fresh the memory of these years will remain in your minds, how easily you can relive the very emotions that you experienced. The Class of ‘32 has no yearbook to record our fi nal days on the campus. The Class of ‘33 didn’t put out a Prism because of the hardships of that Great Depression era. The faculty sometimes went for months on end without pay. And yet this school made it possible for young men and women, myself included, to get an education even though we were totally without funds, our families destitute victims of the Depression.” (Please note that Eureka College also retains copies of Reagan’s yearbooks, donated by him, in the Reagan Museum.)
