In 1875, Samuel Meharry along with four of his brothers donated $15,000 to assist with the establishment of a medical department at Central Tennessee College.

Hubbard and Dr. John Braden, an English Methodist Clergyman, were able to open the Medical Department of Central Tennessee College in 1876. The second class which had its Commencement in 1878 had three graduates with the diplomas written in Latin, among those graduates was Lorenzo Dow Key, the son of Hillery Wattsworth Key, D.D., one of the founding members with Dr. John Braden of the Tennesssee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church North, which split from the Methodist Episcopal Church South on the issue of Slavery and was not reunited until 1939. In 1915, the medical department faculty of Walden University received a separate charter as Meharry Medical College. Hubbard served as Meharry Medical College’s first president until his death in 1921. Hubbard’s death, Meharry Medical College presidents have included Dr. John J.
