THE sToRY oF CASE The history of our Alma Mater compasses only a short period of years. but this renders more remarkable the wonderful things she has achieved in so brief a time. ln but thirty-six years the growth has been from sixteen students to six hundred, and from a single building, the Case homestead, which was poorly fitted for the carrying on of instruction, to six buildings splendidly equipped for the study of various forms of engineering and an additional building furnished to meet every demand of club-house and gymnasium. It was in 1881 that the Case School of Applied Science became a reality after years of planning on the part of Mr. Leonard Case. its generous folunder. For years Mr. Case had cherished his plan for the establishment of a scientific school in Cleveland and with this in view, on the twenty-fourth of February. 1877, he executed a trust deed setting apart certain lands to establish and endow the school. ln order that he might escape the notoriety that would naturally be caused by his benevolence it known, the founder specified that these deeds should be kept secret until after his death, which occurred in 1880. ln the fall of 1881 instruction was begun in the old Case homestead. which stood on Rockwell Street near Superior Avenue. just north of the present post- office. VVhi1e the building was but poorly suited for collegiate purposes. it, along with the stable, furnished ample room for the sixteen students and five instruc- tors, who composed the first student body and faculty. The basement and the first fioor were equipped with physics laboratories. while chemistry occupied the brick stable. Civil engineering was taught on the second floor of the homestead. The first commencement was held in this building in 1885. when a class of five students was graduated. The land on which the school now stands was donated by certain other citizens of Cleveland. lVork was begun on what is the present main building in 1883. At the time of erection it was stated by the trustees that this building was so planned and constructed as to afford protection against nre and ample room to accommodate the school for many years. How mistaken their ideas were we shall see later. As the school was still of a diminutive, it was deemed wise to complete only the south wing of this building for the present, and, as the demand for room increased. the other parts would be finished. Vllork was about finished on this part, when one night a car, which had been standing on an auxiliary track of the Nickel Plate railroad leading to the building, was turned loose either accidentally or for a prank. Gathering momentum as it coasted down the grade, it jumped the end of the track and crashed into the building causing great damage. ln consequence, it could not be occupied until the fall ot 1885. At the opening of the fall term of that year the student body numbered fifty- one. These men were amply accommodated in the one wing of the main building. which contained three departments, Physics, Chemistry and Civil Engineering. The Physics department occupied the first tloor and basementg Civil Engineering and Chemistry, the third door. All departments were well equipped, especially that of Physics, in charge of Professor Nickleson, who had gone to Europe the previous summer and purchased the very best of apparatus to the value of 325.000, ln 1885 Mr: Cady Staley, then a civil engineer of great prominence and dean of the Engineering department of Union College, was elected bv the trustees 10
