History of Case Western Reserve University
Western Reserve College was founded in Hudson, Ohio, in 1826. Case School of Applied Science was founded in 1880 in downtown Cleveland. During the 1880s, they moved to adjoining campuses on Cleveland’s east side, an area now known as University Circle. In the following decades, they laughed, they cried, they learned, they discovered, they trounced each other in football, they grew, they cooperated, they changed their names and they flirted with the idea of merging. At long last, they agreed in 1967 to “federate,” forming an institution with a very long name–Case Western Reserve University–that immediately assumed a position among the nation’s leading research universities. They still competed against each other in sports for three more years, of course. Since then, the university has continued to grow and strengthen its programs, preserving and celebrating its remarkable history and traditions.
