Juniata College was founded by the [[Church of the Brethren]] in 1876. Its current enrollment is approximately 1400 students.


==History==
Juniata has a friendly atmosphere accentuated by faculty that often participate in extracirricular activities with students and are focused on the Juniata community. Students have many opportunities to participate in academic projects as well as club activities. Juniata has nearly 100 student run organizations.
===19th century===
[[File:Martin G. Brumbaugh (2).jpg|thumb|In 1895, [[Martin Grove Brumbaugh]] became Juniata College's first president, serving until 1910]]
'''Huntingdon Normal School''', a [[normal school]], was established by a spry 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 Andrew Brumbaugh.


In 1877, the school changed its name to '''Brethren Normal School'''. At this time Zuck also discussed adding a "Scientific Course" and issuing "Certificates of Graduation". In 1879, classes 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 when he insisted on 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 />
__TOC__


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 renamed '''Juniata College''' for the nearby [[Juniata River]], one of the principal tributaries of the [[Susquehanna River]]. The name Juniata College was made the school's legal name in 1896.<ref name=TruthSetsFree />
==Traditions==


In 1895, [[Martin Grove Brumbaugh|Dr. Martin Grove Brumbaugh]], an 1881 graduate from Brethren Normal (Huntingdon Normal), took over the active presidency of Juniata College until 1910.
One of the things that sets Juniata apart is that it keeps several unique traditions each year. Here's a short list of campus traditions.


===20th century===
*'''Lobsterfest''', ''Established: 1988'' -- Held at the end of the first week of fall semester classes to welcome the students back to campus after summer break, this picnic gives each student a chance to enjoy his or her own lobster.
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 to Puerto Rico in 1900.<ref name=UncommonVisions>{{cite book|last1=Sigel|first1=Nancy|title=Juniata College: Uncommon Visions of Juniata's Past|date=2000|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|location=Great Britain|isbn=0-7385-0240-5|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uq9QHiHOuTEC|access-date=24 June 2015}}</ref> 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.


===Presidents===
*'''Storming of the Arch''', ''Established: Mid-1970s'' -- This event takes place on the second Wednesday of fall semester and is an optional rite of passage for the new freshmen. The goal is for the freshman to make it through the arch of The Cloister, which is guarded by the men's and women's rugby teams. To date no freshman has ever made it through the arch.
* James Quinter (1879–1888)
* H.B. Brumbaugh (1888–1893)
* M.G. Brumbaugh (1893–1910)
* I. Harvey Brumbaugh (1910–1924)
* M. G. Brumbaugh (1924–1930)
* C.C. Ellis (1930–1943)
* Calvert N. Ellis (1943–1968)

* Lauren Bowen, Acting President (2024)


==Campus==
*'''Family Weekend''', ''Established: 1936'' -- Like most colleges Juniata hosts a family weekend, where students families can come to campus and enjoy several pre-planned activities.
[[File:Founders English.jpg|thumb|Founders Hall, the first building on campus]]
[[File:Nathan Hall.jpg|thumb|Nathan Hall]]
The main campus area is {{convert|110|acre|km2}}, and the college manages a {{convert|315|acre|km2|adj=on}} Baker-Henry Nature Preserve. Two new buildings since 2000 include the von Liebig Center for Science and the Suzanne von Liebig Theatre. Founders Hall, the first building on campus, has also been renovated recently. Construction was finished in the summer of 2009 and uses underground geothermal energy to heat and cool the building. This building is recognized as a [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design|LEED]] Gold building.


Other off-campus sites include the Baker Peace Chapel, designed by [[Maya Lin]], and the cliffs, which have views of the [[Juniata River]]. The college also owns the Raystown Field Station, a 365-acre (1.48 km2) reserve on Raystown Lake, which includes an [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design|LEED]] Gold building and two lodges for semester-long residential programs, often focused on environmental topics.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.juniata.edu/services/station/LakesideCenter/Lakesidecenter_home.html |title=Juniata College- Raystown Field Station- Grove Farm |publisher=Juniata.edu |access-date=2013-11-22 |archive-date=2015-04-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402173450/http://www.juniata.edu/services/station/LakesideCenter/Lakesidecenter_home.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
*'''Homecoming Weekend''', ''Established: 1923'' -- This event is another that is not unique to Juniata. Homecoming weekend is a time for Alumni to return to campus and enjoy several sporting and non sporting events.


==Athletics==
*'''Mountain Day''', ''Established: 1896'' -- Mountain Day remains the most anticipated tradition on campus. On Mountain Day all classes are cancelled and the students are bussed to a secret location in the mountains to spend the day picnicking, playing volleyball, canoeing, swimming, etc. What makes Mountain Day so popular is the fact that no one knows on which day Mountain Day will fall. Students wake up to a message on their phones and posted around their dorm telling them that "TODAY IS MOUNTAIN DAY". Some Resident Assistants will do something even more exciting to let students in their dorms know that today is the daylike banging pots and pans up and down the hallway early in the morning.
[[File:Kennedy.jpg|thumb|Memorial Gymnasium inside the Kennedy Sports and Recreation Center]]
Juniata is a [[Division III (NCAA)|Division III]] collegiate sports institution. It is a charter member of the [[Landmark Conference]], where it competes in all sports except [[college football|football]] and [[volleyball]]. The athletic teams are known as the Juniata Eagles.


===Football===
*'''Mr. Juniata Pageant''', ''Established: 1997'' -- This newer tradition is a spoof on modern beauty pageants. The guys of Juniata all stand up on stage and compete for the title of "Mr. Juniata".
The Juniata College football program is a member of the [[Centennial Conference]]. The Goal Post Trophy goes to the winner of the annual football game with rival [[Susquehanna University]]. It is a section of the goal post that was torn down after the 1952 Juniata-Susquehanna game. The visiting Indians (now Eagles) upset the Crusaders in Selinsgrove, and Juniata fans tore down the goal post after the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gosusqu.com/information/traditions/index |title=GO SU! - Susquehanna |publisher=Gosusqu.com |access-date=2013-11-22}}</ref>


===Volleyball===
*'''[[Madrigal dinner|Madrigal Dinner]]''', ''Established: 1970'' -- Taking place on the last Saturday of fall semester, this holiday tradition has students camping out for tickets weeks in advance. Why? Because the first people to get tickets get the best seats and their pick of faculty or staff to serve their meal to them. That's right, the faculty and staff serve the students a fancy dinner on this special night each year.
Juniata College is known for its both its men's and women's [[volleyball]] program. The men's volleyball team competes in the [[Continental Volleyball Conference]]; it previously competed in the [[Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association]], where it won several titles, even while under [[NCAA Division I|Division I]] and [[NCAA Division III|Division III]] sanctions.
In 2023, the Juniata women's volleyball team won the NCAA D-III national championship. The Eagles completed a perfect season, going 35-0, earning the No. 2 seed in the D-III tournament and sweeping No. 4 Hope in straight sets, 25-22, 25-20, 25-21.


==Notable people==
*'''Fate of Gravity''',''Established: Unknown'' -- If you drop your cup in the Baker Refectory, it is heard by everyone and a chorus of 'ooooooh!' follows. The football team started this and continue to do so, unless they're at practice from which other students who are dining carry it on.

Juniata College is a private liberal arts college in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1876 as a co-educational normal school, it was the first college started by members of the Church of the Brethren. It was originally founded as a center for vocational learning for those who could not afford formal education. As of 2015, Juniata College has about 1,600 students from 42 states and territories and 45 countries.[4]

History

19th century

In 1895, Martin Grove Brumbaugh became Juniata College's first president, serving until 1910

Huntingdon Normal School, a normal school, was established by a spry 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".[5][6] Juniata's first classes were held on April 17, 1876, with Zuck teaching Rebecca Cornelius, Maggie D. Miller, and Gaius M. Brumbaugh, the only son of Andrew Brumbaugh.

In 1877, the school changed its name to Brethren Normal School. At this time Zuck also discussed adding a "Scientific Course" and issuing "Certificates of Graduation". In 1879, classes 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 when he insisted on 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.[6]

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 renamed Juniata College for the nearby Juniata River, one of the principal tributaries of the Susquehanna River. The name Juniata College was made the school's legal name in 1896.[6]

In 1895, Dr. Martin Grove Brumbaugh, an 1881 graduate from Brethren Normal (Huntingdon Normal), took over the active presidency of Juniata College until 1910.

20th century

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 to Puerto Rico in 1900.[7] 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.
