CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY is located in Cleveland’s University Circle, the 500-acre, park-like home of more than 40 cultural, medical, educational, relig- ious, and social service institutions (see list of member institutions on page 3).

This union of an institute of technol- ogy and a liberal arts university was unprecedented in higher educa- tion, a singular opportunity to promote interaction between the domi- nant themes in American culture.

In 1882, renamed West- ern Reserve University and boasting a medical school in addition to its undergraduate programs, the institution moved to the Cleveland site that later became known as University Circle. There it joined Case School of Applied Science, founded in 1880 through the bequest of Leonard Case, Jr., a leading citizen of Cleveland. The name Case Insti- tute
