===19th century=== [[File:Martin G. Brumbaugh (2).jpg|thumb|left|150px|Dr. [[Martin Grove Brumbaugh]] (1862-1930), of [[Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania]], became recently renamed [[Juniata College]]'s third president in 1895, serving 15 years until 1910. He later became the 26th [[Governor of Pennsylvania]], serving 1915-1919, at the [[Pennsylvania State Capitol]] in the [[state capital]] of [[Harrisburg, Pennsylvania|Harrisburg]]. He returned as the fifth president in 1924-1930, until his death.]] "Huntingdon Normal School", a [[normal school]], was established by a young Huntingdon physician, Dr. [[Andrew B. Brumbaugh]], and his two cousins, Henry and John Brumbaugh. Henry provided a second-story room over his local print shop for classes, while John lodged and fed the college's first teacher, [[Jacob M. Zuck]]. Andrew was to "provide students and furniture".<ref name=JCWebHistory>{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.juniata.edu/about/history/|website=Juniata College|access-date=24 June 2015}}</ref><ref name=TruthSetsFree>{{cite book|last1=Kaylor|first1=Earl C.|title=Truth Sets Free: A Centennial History of Juniata College, 1876-1976|date=1977|publisher=A.S.

Miller, and Gaius M. Brumbaugh, (the only son of physician Andrew Brumbaugh).{{Cn|date=December 2024}} In 1877, the school changed its name to the "Brethren Normal School". At this time Zuck also discussed adding a "Scientific Course" and issuing "Certificates of Graduation". In 1879, classes were moved into Founder's Hall, the school's first permanent building on the present-day campus then only known as "The Building". On May 11 of same year, Jacob Zuck died from pneumonia at age 32, which he probably caught from sleeping in the then unfinished Founders Hall without a heater. [[James Quinter]] was then chosen to lead the school as the school's first president.<ref name=TruthSetsFree /> In 1894, due to a ruling at the Brethren Church's Annual Meeting against using the term "Brethren" in naming a school, the college was then renamed "Juniata College" for the nearby [[Juniata River]], one of the principal tributaries from the west of the central [[Susquehanna River]], which empties further south into the [[Chesapeake Bay]]. The name of Juniata College was made the school's legal name two decades later in 1896.<ref name=TruthSetsFree /> In 1895, [[Martin Grove Brumbaugh|Dr. Martin Grove Brumbaugh]] (1862-1930), of [[Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania]], an 1881 graduate from the Brethren Normal (Huntingdon Normal), took over the active presidency of now renamed Juniata College, leading the growing institution for 15 years until 1910.{{Cn|date=December 2024}} He later became the 26th [[Governor of Pennsylvania]], serving 1915-1919 at the newly-completed nine years earlier of the third [[Pennsylvania State Capitol]] in the [[state capital]] town of [[Harrisburg,Pennsylvania|Harrisburg]] on the east bank of the central [[Susquehanna River]].{{Cn|date=December 2024}} Shortly after assuming the governorship in Harrisburg in January 1915, Dr. Brumbaugh also was recruited as a potential [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] presidential candidate in the following year's [[1916 United States presidential election]]. He receiving more cast votes than any other in the several states party primary elections that spring and early summer of 1916. However the party's nomination went to Judge [[Charles Evans Hughes]] (1862-1941), then the [[associate justice]] of the [[United States Supreme Court]] at the [[1916 Republican National Convention]], meeting later that year in [[Chicago, Illinois]]. Unfortunately, Republican candidate and Justice Hughes lost the 1916 election to his opponent, the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] candidate and incumbent 28th [[President of the United States|President]] [[Woodrow Wilson]] (1856-1924, served 1913-1921), who was the victor and reelected to a second term. However, now former Associate Justice Hughes was later appointed by subsequent 31st President [[Herbert Hoover]] to later become the 11th [[Chief Justice of the United States]] serving again and heading the U.S. Supreme Court from 1930 to his death in 1941.{{Cn|date=December 2024}} Governor Brumbaugh returned to Huntingdon and Juniata College after his 1915-1919 governorship five years later in 1924 to again assume the office of college president until his death while on vacation in [[North Carolina]] later in March 1930, after a second tenure of six years at his beloved Juanita.{{Cn|date=December 2024}}
