 Edward S. Breidenbaugh graduated from Gettysburg College in 1868. He headed the chemistry department from 1874 until 1924. Breidenbaugh played a visionary role in developing the chemistry program. In addition to his great achievements in the field of chemistry, he is also credited with creating a physics curriculum. He was the first professor to teach a physics course at Gettysburg.

In 1876, Breidenbaugh was elected President of the Linnaean Society. He was also awarded the degree of doctor of science in 1887, the first to have this honor at Gettysburg College.

Breidenbaugh supervised the conversion of the old gym into the chemistry laboratory in 1890. And in 1925, construction began on Breidenbaugh Hall, in an effort to house the growing biology, chemistry, and physics departments. Construction was completed in 1927, and the building was dedicatied on June 12, 1929.
