Juniata College: Uncommon Vision, Uncommon Loyalty by Kaylor Jr., Earl C.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780963661012.

Juniata College was founded in 1876 by members of the Church of the Brethren, then a small ethnocentric religious group of German Anabaptist-Pietist pedigree. This book, richly anecdotal and illustrated, tells of Juniatas humble origins in the face of stubborn resistance based on the bias that education corrupted biblical faith. Located in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, the college stands as the first permanent institution of higher learning with Brethren origins (seven in all today). This book vividly enlivens all areas of campus life. . . .Above all, it emphasizes the schools mission to put humanistic and spiritual values into the core of its curriculum. The history chronicles why Juniata College, at the second millennium, has for years been ranked among the nations premier small liberal arts colleges.
