In the early 1850s, [[Rebecca Pennell]] offered a course on teaching methods which was the first of its kind, and John Burns Weston, class of 1857, established a long-standing precedent by being both student and faculty simultaneously. He taught Greek language and literature for 20 years and remained a lifelong student.

Antioch College president [[Arthur Ernest Morgan|Arthur Morgan]] launched Antioch's unique program of work and study, including [[student government]] and changing the nature of the admissions procedure, which he moved away from exams and towards more personal information on prospective students. Senior exams were graded "honors" or "pass", and students who failed could retake the exam. Morgan remained at Antioch College until 1933, when he became director of the [[Tennessee Valley Authority]].

Antioch College's first president was [[Horace Mann]], regarded by most historians as the father of public education in the United States.<ref>Horace Mann and the creation of the Common School.
