Wisdom and honor are symbolized by the golden sun. The star represents science and the crossed laurel branches symbolize achievement and academic honors. A Chronicle of Case Western Reserve University In 1967 Case Western Reserve University was created by action of the trustees of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University. The new university inherited the traditions of two independent institutions that had been closely connected over many years by location, and by personal and corporate relationships. Both of the component institutions had deep roots in the history and ideals of the Western Reserve of Connecticut. Western Reserve College was founded in 1826 by a group of men, imbued with a Puritan vision, who had pioneered in the new western country; they were led by David Hudson, who had given his name to the village in which the college was located. The founders were schooled in the New England college tradition; they were conscious of a dire need for competent men to fill the government, the bar, the ranks of physicians, and the pulpit. They enjoyed the blissful hope that the "time would never come, when the State of Ohio would become a refuge for ignorance and imbecility." Although the orientation of the institution was toward classical education and training for the ministry, it was one of the early colleges in the nation that had a strong scientific interest. In 1836 its astronomical observatory, the third in the United States and the first west of the Appalachians, was built in Hudson and still stands there - and Elias Loomis, who would become a prominent solar physicist, was commissioned to spend a year in Europe, studying and purchasing scientific equipment before he took up residence at the college in Hudson. In 1843 a group of seven doctors were intent on starting a medical school in Cleveland; Leonard Case, Sr., a banker and land agent, was the chairman of the Board of Agency that affiliated the school with Western Reserve College as its medical department; Leonard Case, Sr., also offered five acres in downtown Cleveland to the school. Subsequently, several faculty members - in these early years - taught at both Hudson and Cleveland, particularly in the natural sciences. In 1826 the founders of Western Reserve College had refused to consider Cleveland as a location because it was a lake port whose rollicking sailors, careening in the streets, would be detrimental to the morals of college students. A half century later Cleveland was a flourishing city determined to have a university; by that time the trustees and faculty of Western Reserve College found Cleveland considerably more acceptable. A group of Clevelanders who were negotiating about a move to their city with the trustees of the college in Hudson were encouraged by a sensational news story in January 1880. Leonard Case, Jr., the scholarly heir to a sizable fortune, had left a substantial portion of it to found a scientific and engineering school in Cleveland. He had pursued a course of classical training at Yale which he appreciated as far as his own predilections were concerned. But he came to believe that classical schools should be supplemented with institutions that would apply pure science to unlock the secrets of nature and develop the nation's resources, which were then abundant. Because traditional colleges were deaf to the demand for training in engineering, it remained for men of wealth like Case to take the initiative. Representatives of the new Case School of Applied Science and of Western Reserve College met to discuss the possibility of sharing a tract of land to be purchased for their use by public subscription. The trustees at Case decided that "very many advantages would accrue to the students of each of these institutions, with a saving of expense both to the institutions and to them, by their location in proximity with each other." At the same time the issue was settled for Western Reserve by the offer of Amasa Stone, a Cleveland railroad builder and banker, to donate the 2 funds to reestablish Western Reserve College in Cleveland - provided the two institutions could exist "in close proximity and harmony." The parcel of land purchased by the contributions of fifty-four Clevelanders was the nucleus of the present campus of Case Western Reserve, and indeed of the entire University Circle as it exists today. Amasa Stone had asked that the name of the college in Hudson be changed to Adelbert in memory of his only son; it held its first classes in Cleveland in 1882. The first nearby Case building, completed in 1885, was gutted by fire a year later. Fortunately, Adelbert College was able to provide space for Case classes until the building was reconstructed. Fortunately, too, the equipment for the experiment which Albert A. Michelson of Case and Edward W. Morley of Adelbert were conducting to test the theory of ether drift was rescued from the flames and the project, basic to the development of Einstein's work in relativity, was completed in 1887 in Adelbert Hall. Case school was very fortunate in its early faculty; it became a center for scientific and industrial research as well as a technical institution that trained engineers. The change of name in 1947 to Case Institute of Technology signalled the beginning of a period of great growth - in physical facilities, in the undergraduate program, and in emphasis on pure research and graduate training. It also indicated a broadening of the scientific and engineering curricula to exploit new resources and to meet new needs. This has been accomplished particularly through the interdisciplinary approach to research. Traditional engineering departments have changed their names and expanded their programs; in addition, brand-new departments have appeared and have been responsible for significant achievements - for example, in biomedical engineering, computer sciences, the field of research in materials, and in macromolecular science. When Western Reserve moved to Cleveland in the early 1880s it had but one component, Adelbert College, of which the medical program was a department. In 1884 Western Reserve University was chartered, and the subsequent proliferation of new schools soon justified its new name. The medical department became the medical school of the university. On the undergraduate side two new schools appeared: in 1888 the university established the College for Women, renamed Flora Stone Mather College in 1931; in 1925 under the leadership of Newton D. Baker, Cleveland College was founded to specialize in education of adults. On the post-graduate and professional level, as the needs of the community became evident, the university filled the gaps. In one year, 1892, the Franklin Thomas Backus School of Law began operations, the School of Dentistry was founded to supplement the work of the School of Medicine, and the Graduate School appeared to meet the needs of those who wished to earn advanced degrees in the humanities, social studies, and the sciences. In 1903 a donation from Andrew Carnegie allowed the establishment of the School of Library Science at the request of the Cleveland Public Library, and in 1916 the social agencies of Cleveland petitioned for the foundation of the School of Applied Social Sciences. During the early 1920s both the School of Medicine and Lakeside Hospital, the precursor of University Hospitals, moved from downtown to their present locations on the campus. In 1923, what had been the Lakeside Hospital School of Nursing, became a part of the university and was renamed the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing in honor of its benefactor. With federation in 1967 came the establishment of a professional school of business, which was the outgrowth of two earlier ones at Cleveland College and at Case; it is now the newly endowed Weatherhead School of Management. After World War II some of the advantages of proximity, which had seemed promising in 1880, again became evident. Case Institute and Western Reserve united with University Hos- 3 pitals to create University Circle, Inc., since joined by other cultural agencies in the area. The two schools adopted a common calendar and joint services, merged their departments of philosophy, allowed interchange of registration, placed all instruction in foreign languages at Western Reserve, and formed cooperative departments of astronomy at Case and geology at Western Reserve. Each step made the possibility of closer correlation more evident. In 1966 a Joint Committee of Trustees of both Case Institute and Western Reserve University created a commission chaired by Henry T. Heald - who had been president of Illinois Institute of Technology, chancellor of New York University, and president of the Ford Foundationto study the relationship and potential of the two institutions. The recommendation of the commission was unanimous for federation of the two schools as "an adventure in higher education without precedent." The trustees of both institutions agreed. In its early years the federated university confronted serious problems: student unrest, a considerable decline in funding from the federal government and foundations, opposition from alumni and faculty to federation, and worrisome deficits. During the 1970s, however, student turbulence died down, there was an amelioration of the opposition to federation from faculty and alumni, and the serious deficits became surpluses. By late 1980 RESOURCES, the fiveyear capital campaign to raise $215 million by February 1981, was nearing the $200-million mark. These developments were a testimonial to the high hopes and eminence of the university - and to the generous support it was receiving from trustees, alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations. It had become a model for private educational institutions. In 1966 the final report of the Heald Commission had been entitled "Vision of a University." By 1980 that vision has become a reality. C. H. Cramer Dean and Professor Emeritus University Historian Academic Dress The various gowns and hoods preserve the style of their medieval origin and indicate by color and design the degree and the institution by which the degree was conferred. Black is the basic color for gowns in the United States. The bachelor's gown is distinguished by its long, open sleeves; the master's by its closed, slitted sleeves; the doctor's by its full sleeves trimmed with bands of velvet. The velvet on a doctor's gown may be black or a color denoting the field in which the degree was taken. The academic hoods vary in length according to the degree and are lined with the colors of the institution by which the degree was conferred. Hoods of Case Western Reserve University are lined with blue and grey. The yoke of the hood is faced in a color that indicates the field in which the degree was taken. Some examples of colors associated with the various faculties are: Arts and Letters, white; Philosophy, blue; Science, gold-yellow; Medicine, green; Law, purple; Dentistry, lilac; Business, drab; Library Science, lemon; Social Sciences, citron; Nursing, apricot. 4 Western Reserve College Convocation for Conferring Degrees at Severance Hall Tuesday, May 19 at 10:00 a.m. Presiding Dean T.

Eric Nord 40 This digital copy was produced by the Case Western Reserve University Archives Senior Milestones Project. The Senior Milestones Project aims to enhance access to archival documents reflective of undergraduate student life. Phase 1, conducted in 2006-2007, produced digital copies of the senior yearbooks and Commencement programs of the classes of 1946, 1951, 1956, 1981, 1996, and 2001 of Adelbert College, Case School of Applied Science/Case Institute of Technology/The Case School of Engineering, Cleveland College, Flora Stone Mather College, and Western Reserve College/College of Arts and Sciences. These years represent a tiny portion of yearbooks and Commencement programs in the Archives. As additional resources are identified, milestone documents of other classes will be digitized. Original documents from the University Archives were scanned as 300 ppi, black and white, uncompressed, TIFF images. Blank pages were not scanned. Scanning was done by Lake Business Products, Eastlake, Ohio. The images were OCR’d using Readiris Pro version 11.0.3 and converted to PDF/A using Acrobat Professional version 8.0 by staff and students of the University Archives. Project Staff: Lauren Boucher Helen Conger Amber Forrester Thomas Steman Jill Tatem, Project Manager Tran Tran Please send questions or comments to University Archives Case Western Reserve University archives@case.edu 216-368-3320 Commencement programs are distributed at the convocation ceremony held to honor graduating students. They list the speakers and participants in the ceremony, student and faculty awards, and honorary degree recipients. Numerous actions subsequent to printing the program affect degrees. Thus, the presence of a name in the Commencement program should not be interpreted as an official verification of a degree. Nor should the absence of a name from the program be considered proof that a student did not graduate. Commencement programs celebrate an event. Degree verifications are made by the Case Western Reserve University Registrar. This document is in the public domain.
