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.

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.

[7] 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.

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.

[citation needed] During and after his tenure, Brumbaugh remained intimately connected to the college and reacquired the college's presidency in 1924, after having served as Governor of Pennsylvania from 1915 to 1919 and as commissioner of education in 1900 in the newly-acquired American possession of the former Kingdom of Spain/ Spanish Empire's island of Puerto Rico, after the Spanish-American War of 1898.

[8] M. G. Brumbaugh died unexpectedly in 1930 while on vacation in Pinehurst, North Carolina, and was succeeded in his presidency by a former pupil at Juniata, Dr. Charles Calvert Ellis.

[citation needed] The main campus area is 110 acres (0.45 km2), and the college manages a 315-acre (1.27 km2) Baker-Henry Nature Preserve.

[citation needed] Other off-campus sites include the Baker Peace Chapel, designed by Maya Lin, and the cliffs, which have views of the Juniata River.

The visiting Indians (now Eagles) upset the Crusaders (now River Hawks) in Selinsgrove, and Juniata fans tore down the goal post after the game.
