While Iowa College, later renamed Grinnell College, did not have a president for the first years of its existence, after the Civil War, the trustees chose fellow trustee George Frederick Magoun to lead the institution as it matured. From his inauguration in 1865, Magoun served 19 years, the second longest presidential tenure in the college's history.[Jones, Alan.

Osgood, who replaced acting president Charles Duke on August 1, 1998.[Grinnell College, Office of the President. May 15, 1998.
