Case Western Reserve University(CWRU) is aprivateresearch universityinCleveland, Ohio,United States. It was established in 1967 by a merger between Western Reserve University[a]and the Case Institute of Technology.[b]

Case Western Reserve University comprises eight schools that offer more than 100 undergraduate programs and about 160 graduate and professional options across fields in STEM, medicine, arts, and the humanities.[9]In 2023, the university enrolled 12,266 students (6,186 undergraduate plus 6,080 graduate and professional) from all 50 states and 102 countries and employed more than 1,110 full-time faculty members. The university's athletic teams, Case Western Reserve Spartans, play inNCAA Division IIIas a founding member of theUniversity Athletic Association.

Case Western Reserve University is a member of theAssociation of American Universitiesand isclassifiedamong "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".[10]According to theNational Science Foundation,in 2019 the university hadresearch and development(R&D) expenditures of $439 million, ranking it 20th among private institutions and 58th in the nation.[11]

As of April 2024, 2Surgeons General of the United States,1Justice of the United States Supreme Court,5Olympic medallists,1NASA astronaut,3 billionaires, 69 appointees to theNational Academies,and 17Nobel laureatesare numbered among Case Western Reserve University faculty or alumni, or one of its predecessors prior to federation.[12][13][14]TheMichelson–Morley experimentdisproved the existence of the "luminiferous aether" and confirmed that light did not need a medium of travel. It was conducted in the basement of a Western Reserve University dormitory in 1887, andAlbert A. Michelsonbecame the first American to win theNobel Prizein science.

History

[edit]

Western Reserve College (1826–1882) and University (1882–1967)

[edit]

Western Reserve College, the college of theConnecticut Western Reserve,was founded in 1826 inHudson, Ohio,as theWestern Reserve College and Preparatory School.Western Reserve College, or "Reserve" as it was popularly called, was the first college in northern Ohio.[15]The school was called "Yale of the West"; its campus, now that of theWestern Reserve Academy,imitated that of Yale. It had the same motto, "Lux et Veritas" (Light and Truth), the same entrance standards, and nearly the same curriculum. It was different from Yale in that it was amanual labor college,in which students were required to perform manual labor, seen as psychologically beneficial.[16]

Western Reserve College's founders sought to instill in students an "evangelical ethos" and train ministers for Ohio, where there was an acute shortage of them. The college was located in Hudson because the town made the largest financial offer to help in its construction.[17]: 422 That town, about 30 miles southeast of Cleveland, had been an antislavery center from the beginning: its founder,David Hudson,was against slavery, and founding trusteeOwen Brownwas a notedabolitionistwho secured the location for the college. The abolitionistJohn Brown,who would lead the1859 raid on Harpers Ferry,grew up in Hudson and was the son of co-founder Owen Brown. Hudson was a major stop on theUnderground Railroad.

Along withPresbyterianinfluences of its founding, the school's origins were strongly though briefly associated with the pre-Civil Warabolitionistmovement;[18]the abolition of slavery was the dominant topic on campus in 1831. The trustees were unhappy with the situation. The college's chaplain and Bible professor,Beriah Green,gave four sermons on the topic[19]and then resigned, expecting that he would be fired. PresidentCharles Backus Storrstook a leave of absence for health, and soon died. One of the two remaining professors,Elizur Wright,soon left to head theAmerican Anti-Slavery Society.[20]

Western Reserve was the first college west of theAppalachian Mountainsto enroll (1832) and graduate (1836) anAfrican-Americanstudent,John Sykes Fayette.[21]Frederick Douglassgave thecommencement speechin 1854.[22]

In 1838, theLoomis Observatorywas built by astronomerElias Loomis,and today remains the second oldestobservatoryin the United States, and the oldest still in its original location.[23]

In 1852, theMedical Schoolbecame the secondmedical?school in the United States to graduate a woman,Nancy Talbot Clark.Five more women graduated over the next four years, includingEmily BlackwellandMarie Zakrzewska,giving Western Reserve the distinction of graduating six of the first eight female physicians in the United States.[24]

By 1875, Cleveland had emerged as the dominant population and business center of the region, and the city wanted a prominent higher education institution. In 1882, with funding fromAmasa Stone,Western Reserve College moved to Cleveland and changed its name to Adelbert College of Western Reserve University. Adelbert was the name of Stone's son.[25]

Case School of Applied Science (1880–1947) and Institute of Technology (1947–1967)

[edit]
The main building of the Case School of Applied Science in 1916

In 1877,Leonard Case Jr.began laying the groundwork for the Case School of Applied Science by secretly donating valuable pieces of Cleveland real estate to a trust. He asked his confidential advisor, Henry Gilbert Abbey, to administer the trust and to keep it secret until after his death in 1880.

On March 29, 1880, articles of incorporation were filed for the founding of theCase School of Applied Science.Classes began on September 15, 1881.[26]The school received its charter by the state ofOhioin 1882.

For the first four years of the school's existence, it was located in the Case family's home on Rockwell Street indowntown Cleveland.Classes were held in the family house, while the chemistry and physics laboratories were on the second floor of the barn.Amasa Stone's gift to relocate Western Reserve College to Cleveland also included a provision for the purchase of land in theUniversity Circlearea, adjacent to Western Reserve University, for the Case School of Applied Science. The school relocated toUniversity Circlein 1885.

In 1921Albert Einsteincame to the Case campus during his first visit to the United States, out of respect for thephysicswork performed there. Besides noting the research done in theMichelson–Morley experiment,Einstein also met with physics professorDayton Millerto discuss his own research.[27]

DuringWorld War II,Case School of Applied Science was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in theV-12 Navy College Training Programwhich offered students a path to a Navy commission.[28]

Over time, the Case School of Applied Science expanded to encompass broader subjects, adopting the name Case Institute of Technology in 1947 to reflect the institution's growth.[25]

Led by polymer expertEric Baerin 1963, the nation's first stand-alone Polymer Science and Engineering program was founded, to eventually become the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering.[29]

Federation of two universities

[edit]
Reading room atAllen Memorial Medical Libraryof Case Western Reserve University

Although the trustees of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University did not formally federate their institutions until 1967, the institutions already shared buildings and staff when necessary and worked together often. One such example was seen in 1887, when Case physicistAlbert Michelsonand Reserve chemistEdward Morleycollaborated on the famousMichelson–Morley experiment.

There had been some discussion of a merger of the two institutions as early as 1890, but those talks dissolved quickly. In the 1920s, the Survey Commission on Higher Education in Cleveland took a strong stand in favor of federation and the community was behind the idea as well, but in the end all that came of the study was a decision by the two institutions to cooperate in founding Cleveland College, a special unit for part-time and adult students indowntown Cleveland.

By the 1960s, Reserve PresidentJohn Schoff Millisand Case PresidentT. Keith Glennanshared the idea that federation would create a complete university, one better able to attain national distinction. Financed by theCarnegie Corporation,Cleveland Foundation,Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation,and several local donors, a study commission of national leaders in higher education and public policy was charged with exploring the idea of federation. The Heald Commission, so known for its chair, formerFord FoundationPresidentHenry T. Heald,predicted in its final report that a federation could create one of the largest private universities in the nation.

Case Western Reserve University (1967–present)

[edit]

In 1967, Case Institute of Technology, a school with its emphasis on engineering and science, and Western Reserve University, a school with professional programs and liberal arts, came together to form Case Western Reserve University.[30]

In 1968, theDepartment of Biomedical Engineeringlaunched as a newly unified collaboration between theSchool of EngineeringandSchool of Medicineas the first in the nation and as one of the firstBiomedical Engineeringprograms in the world.[31]The following year in 1969, the first Biomedical Engineering MD/PhD program in the world began at Case Western Reserve.[32]

The firstcomputer engineeringdegree program in the United States was established in 1971 at Case Western Reserve.

The controversial "Case" logo

In 2003, the university unveiled a new logo and branding campaign that emphasized the "Case" portion of its name. In 2006, interimuniversity presidentGregory Eastwood convened a task group to study reactions to the campaign. The panel's report indicated that it had gone so poorly that, "There appear to be serious concerns now about the university's ability to recruit and maintain high-quality faculty, fund-raising and leadership." Also, the logo was derided among the university's community and alumni and throughout northeastern Ohio; critics said it looked like "...a fat man with a surfboard."[33]

In 2007, the university's board of trustees approved a shift back to giving equal weight to "Case" and "Western Reserve". A new logo was chosen and implementation began July 1.[34]In an open letter to the university community, interim president Eastwood admitted that "the university had misplaced its own history and traditions."[35]The "Forward Thinking" campaign was launched in 2011 by PresidentBarbara Snyderand raised $1 billion in 30 months. The board of trustees unanimously agreed to expand the campaign to $1.5 billion, which reached its mark in 2017.[36]The campaign ultimately raised $1.82 billion.[37]

A2020 United States presidential debate,the first of two, was held at the Samson Pavilion of theHealth Education Campus(HEC), shared by theCleveland Clinic.[38]

In February 2020, president Barbara Snyder was appointed the president ofAssociation of American Universities(AAU). Later that year, formerTulane UniversitypresidentScott Cowenwas appointed interim president. On October 29, 2020,Eric W. Kaler,formerUniversity of Minnesotapresident, was appointed as the new Case Western Reserve University president, effective July 1, 2021.[39]

Electrochemistry

[edit]

CWRU has contributed to the electrochemical sciences since the 1930s beginning with Frank Hovorka's studies ofquinhydrone(quinone) and other electrodes. Subsequently, Ernest Yeager carried out pioneering studies on ultrasound electrodeposition andoxygen reduction reaction(ORR), which is directly relevant for H2-O2 fuel cells and batteries that use air electrodes such as zinc-air, iron-air, etc. The Yeager Center for Electrochemical Sciences (YCES), formerly the Case Center for Electrochemical Sciences, has provided annual workshops on electrochemical measurements since the late 1970s. The leadership in theElectrochemical Societyhave frequently included CWRU professors, and the university is home to six Fellows of the Electrochemical Society. Some notable achievements involve the work on ultrasound electrochemistry, oxygen reduction fundamentals, boron-doped diamond electrodes, in-situ electrochemical spectroscopy, polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes for high-temperature fuel cells (HT-PEM), methanol fuel cells, iron-based flow batteries, metal deposition studies, dendrite modeling and electrochemical sensors. Noted laboratories at Case include the Electrochemical Engineering and Energy Laboratory (EEEL), the Electrochemical Materials Fabrication Laboratory (EMFL), the Case Electrochemical Capacitor Fabrication Facility and the ENERGY LAB.

Computing

[edit]

Case Western Reserve had the firstABET-accredited program incomputer engineering.[92]

In 1968, the university formed a private company, Chi Corporation, to provide computer time to both it and other customers. Initially this was on aUnivac 1108(replacing the precedingUNIVAC 1107), 36 bit,ones' complementmachine.[93]The company was sold in 1977 to Robert G. Benson inBeachwood, Ohiobecoming Ecocenters Corporation.

Project Logos, under ARPA contract, was begun within the department on a DEC System-10 (later converted toTENEX(BBN) in conjunction with connection to theARPANET) to develop a computer-aided computer design system. This system consisted in a distributed, networked, graphics environment, a control and data flow designer and logic (both hardware and software) analyzer. AnImlac PDS-1with lightpen interrupt was the main design workstation in 1973, communicating with the PDP-10 over a display communications protocol written by Don Huff as a Master Thesis and implemented on the Imlac by Ted Brenneman.

Case Western Reserve was one of the earliest universities connected to theARPANET,predecessor to theInternet.ARPANET went online in 1969; Case Western Reserve was connected in January 1971.[94]Case Western Reserve graduate Ken Biba published theBiba Integrity Modelin 1977 and served on the ARPA Working Group that developed theTransmission Control Protocol(TCP) used on the Internet.

Case Western Reserve pioneered the earlyFree-netcomputer systems, creating the first Free-net, The Cleveland Free-Net, as well as writing the software that drove a majority of those systems, known as FreePort. The Cleveland Free-Net was shut down in late 1999, as it had become obsolete.

It was the first university to have an all-fiber-optic network, in 1989.[95]

At the inaugural meeting in October 1996, Case Western Reserve was one of the 34 charter university members ofInternet2.[96]

The university was ranked No. 1 inYahooInternet Life's 1999 Most Wired College list.[97]There was a perception that this award was obtained through partially false or inaccurate information submitted for the survey,[98]and the university did not appear at all on the 2000 Most Wired College list (which included 100 institutions). The numbers reported were much lower than those submitted by Ray Neff in 1999.[99][100]The university had previously placed No. 13 in the 1997 poll.[101]

In August 2003, Case Western Reserve joined theInternet Streaming Media Alliance,then one of only two university members.[102]

In September 2003, Case Western Reserve opened 1,230 public wireless access points on the Case Western Reserve campus and University Circle.[103]

Case Western Reserve was one of the founding members of OneCleveland, formed in October 2003.[104]OneCleveland is an "ultra broadband" (gigabit speed) fiber optic network. This network is for the use of organizations in education, research, government, healthcare, arts, culture, and the nonprofit sector in Greater Cleveland.

Case Western Reserve's Virtual Worlds gaming computer lab opened in 2005. The lab has a large network ofAlienwarePCs equipped with game development software such as theTorque Game EngineandMaya3D modeling software. Additionally, it contains a number of specialized advanced computing rooms including a medical simulation room, aMIDIinstrument music room, a 3D projection "immersion room", avirtual realityresearch room, and console room, which features video game systems such asXbox 360,PlayStation 3,andWii.[105]This laboratory can be used by any student in the Electrical Engineering and computer science department, and is heavily used for the Game Development (EECS 290) course.

Housing

[edit]

Residence halls are divided into two areas: one featuring suite-style rooms for second-year students in the South Residential Village, the other featuring double, single and suite style rooms for first-year students and upperclassmen in the North Residential Village. Suite style housing, known as the Village at 115th, was opened in fall 2005 for upperclassmen and features one- to nine-person, "apartment-style"residence halls.

First-year studentsare grouped into one of fourresidential collegesthat are overseen by first-year coordinators. The Mistletoe, Juniper, and Magnolia residential colleges were established when the "First Year Experience"system was introduced, and Cedar was created in the fall of 2005 to accommodate a large influx of new students. In the fall of 2007, Magnolia was integrated into Mistletoe, however, it was later re-separated in the fall of 2012. The areas of focus for each college are – Cedar: visual and performing arts; Mistletoe: service leadership; Juniper: multiculturalism and Magnolia: sustainability.[106]

Traditions

[edit]
Adelbert Hall

Starting in 1910, the Hudson Relay is an annual relay race event remembering and honoring the university relocation fromHudson, Ohioto Cleveland. Conceived by then-student, Monroe Curtis,[112]the relay race was run from the old college in Hudson, Ohio to the new university in University Circle. Since the mid-1980s, the race has been run entirely in the University Circle area. The race is a distance of 26 miles (42 km). It is held weekend before spring semester finals. Competing running teams are divided by graduating class. If a class wins the relay all four years, tradition dictates a reward of a champagne and steak dinner with the president of the university be awarded. Only six classes have won all four years—1982, 1990, 1994, 2006, 2011, and 2017.[113][114]The winning classes of each year is carved on an original boulder located behindAdelbert Hall.

Springfest is a day-long concert and student group festival that occurs later in the same day as Hudson Relays. The Springfest Planning Committee brings in several bands and a beer garden, student groups set up booths to entertain the student body, and various inflatable carnival-style attractions are brought in to add to the festive atmosphere. Occasionally, due to adverse weather conditions, the festival must be moved indoors, usually to Thwing Center orAdelbert Gym.
