was then chosen to lead the school as the school's first president.
In 1894, due to a ruling at the Brethren Church's Annual Meeting against using the term "Brethren" in naming a school, the college's name was changed to "Juniata College" for the nearby Juniata River. This was made the school's legal name two decades later in 1896.
In 1895, Martin Grove Brumbaugh (1862-1930), of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, an 1881 graduate from the Brethren Normal (Huntingdon Normal), took over the presidency of Juniata College, leading the growing institution until 1910. He later became the 26th Governor of Pennsylvania. Governor Brumbaugh returned to Huntingdon and Juniata College in 1924 to again assume the office of college president, which he held until his death, six years later, in March 1930, while on vacation in North Carolina.
