Case Western Reserve University (also known as Case Western

Reserve, Case Western, Case, and CWRU) is a private doctorate- Case Western Reserve
granting university in Cleveland, Ohio. The university was created University
in 1967 by the federation of Case Institute of Technology (founded
in 1881 by Leonard Case Jr.) and Western Reserve University
(founded in 1826 in the area that was once the Connecticut Western
Reserve). Time magazine described the merger as the creation of
"Cleveland's Big-Leaguer" university.[6]

In U.S. News & World Report's 2016 rankings, Case Western

History
Case Western Reserve University was created in 1967, when Western Reserve University and Case Institute of
Technology (formerly Case School of Applied Science), institutions that had been neighbors for 81 years,
formally federated.
Western Reserve University

Western Reserve College, named from the Connecticut Western

Reserve, was founded in 1826 in Hudson, Ohio. Western Reserve
College, or "Reserve" as it was popularly called, was the first college in
northern Ohio.[12] Along with Presbyterian influences of its founding,
the school's origins were strongly associated with the pre-Civil War
Abolitionist movement,[13] primarily due to the influence of President
Charles Backus Storrs, Elizur Wright, and David Hudson. In fact,
Western Reserve was to first university in Ohio and west of the
Appalachian Mountains to enroll (1832) and graduate (1836) an African
American student, John Sykes Fayette.[14] The abolitionist views were
so strong, Frederick Douglass gave the commencement speech in
1854.[15]

In 1838, the Loomis Observatory was built by astronomer Elias

Case alumnus Herbert Henry Dow,
Loomis, and today remains the second oldest observatory in the United
founder of Dow Chemical.
States.[16]

In 1852, the Medical School became the second school in the United
States to graduate a woman, Nancy Talbot Clarke. Five more women graduated over the next four years,
including Emily Blackwell, giving Western Reserve the distinction of graduating six of the first eight female
physicians in the United States.[17]

By 1875, Cleveland had emerged as clearly the dominant population and business center of the region, and the
city wanted a prominent higher education institution. In 1882, with funding from Amasa 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.[18]

Case Institute of Technology

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. The Case School of Applied Science was issued a charter by the
state of Ohio in 1882, four months after Case's death.

For the first four years of the school's existence, it was located in the
Case family's home on Rockwell Street in downtown Cleveland.
Classes were held in the family house, while the chemistry and physics

also included a provision for the purchase of land in the University
Circle area, adjacent to Western Reserve University, for the Case
School of Applied Science. The school moved to University Circle in
1885.

During World War II, Case School of Applied Science was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that
took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a Navy commission.[19]

Over time, the Case School of Applied Science grew to encompass a broader vision, adopting the name Case
Institute of Technology in 1947 to reflect the institution's growing stature.[18]
Creating a federation

Although the trustees of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University did not formally federate
their institutions until 1967, the union had been seen by many as inevitable for decades before that.[6] The
institutions already shared buildings and staff when necessary and worked together often. One such example
was seen in 1887, when Case physicist Albert Michelson and Reserve chemist Edward Morley collaborated on
the famous MichelsonMorley 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 in downtown Cleveland.

By the 1960s, Reserve President John Schoff Millis and Case President T. Keith Glennan shared the idea that
federation would create a complete university, one better able to attain national distinction. Financed by the
Carnegie 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, former Ford Foundation
President Henry T. Heald, issued its final report, "Vision of a University." The report predicted that federation
would create one of the largest private universities in the nation, with a combined faculty larger than that of
Princeton, Chicago, Stanford, or Johns Hopkins.

Case Institute of Technology, a school of science and engineering, and Western Reserve University, known for
its strong liberal arts and professional programs, came together in 1967 to form Case Western Reserve
University.[20]

Campus
The university is approximately 5 miles (8 km) east of downtown Cleveland, adjacent to the historic Wade Park
District in University Circle, a park-like city neighborhood and commercial center, home to numerous
educational, medical, and other cultural institutions. Case Western Reserve has a number of programs taught in
conjunction with nearby institutions, including the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Cleveland Institute of Art,
the Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Natural
History, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland Botanical Garden, and the Cleveland Play House.

Kent H. Smith Quadrangle

The Kent H. Smith Quadrangle (known to students as the
Main Quad) is located south of Euclid between Adelbert
Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. All of the
engineering buildings are located on this quad in addition
to all of the natural science buildings.

Flora Stone Mather Quadrangle

The Flora Stone Mather Quadrangle (known to students as

the Mather Quad) is located north of Euclid Avenue
between East Blvd., E. 115th Street, and Juniper Road.
Usually it is more strictly defined by the area between East Haydn Hall on the campus of Case Western Reserve
Blvd, Bellflower Road, and Ford Road north of Euclid University (Flora Stone Mather Quadrangle) in
Avenue. Named for the philanthropist wife of prominent Cleveland.
industrialist Samuel Mather and sister-in-law of the famous
statesman John Hay, the Flora Stone Mather Quad is home
to Weatherhead School of Management, School of Law,
Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, and many
departments of the College of Arts and Sciences. The
Kelvin Smith Library (Case Western Reserve's main
library) and the Thwing Student Center are also located on
Mather Quad.

North Residential Village

Situated on the northeast end of campus, the North

Residential Village (NRV) is home to all Case Western
Reserve's freshmen who reside on campus. Constructed in
the 1960s, the NRV consists of 12 4-floor buildings, an 11- Kelvin Smith Library
floor building, Leutner (a dining hall), and a building
containing the NRV area office and rehearsal space for
Case Western Reserve's music department.

Village at 115

Located along E. 115th Street, this is the newest addition to Case Western Reserve's residential housing units,
which opened in the fall of 2005. Currently, only upper-class students may reside there. The Village (as
students refer to it) consists of seven houses that surround the football field and track. Village housing is
apartment style, with apartments that house one to nine people (excluding eight person units). The apartments
are fully furnished. The Village is also LEED certified. Houses 1-4 & 6-7 are certified silver while house 5 is
certified gold.

In February 2011, a broken pipe joint in the plumbing of House 6 caused over 500,000 US gallons (1,900 m3)
of water to flood the House's apartments, displacing upwards of 40 students. Although University Housing had
crews working to repair the damage around the clock, it was over a week before any students could return,
some as long as three weeks. This raised concerns about cut corners resulting in poor construction quality of the
Village Houses.

South Residential Village

Located between Murray Hill, Cedar, Edgehill, and Overlook roads, the South Residential Village (SRV) is
home to most of Case Western Reserve's sophomore class. SRV is divided into two sections: Murray Hill
Complex and Carlton Road Complex (known to students as bottom of the hill and top of the hill, respectively,
due to the hill separating the two complexes). Carlton Road Complex includes three sophomore-only
dormitories and several Greek life houses. Murray Hill Complex includes four sophomore only buildings and
Fribley, the SRV dining hall. It also includes five Greek Houses.

Transportation

Two main transportation options are available for students: For on- and near-campus transportation, Case
Western Reserve has a fleet of shuttle buses known as Greenies. Case also offers safe transport around campus
through the Safe Ride program between 7pm and 3am. For longer trips, students may use the Greater Cleveland
Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus and rail system. Each undergraduate student receives an unlimited RTA
pass, which is paid for via a mandatory $25 fee per semester. The Healthline bus system connects the campus to
downtown Cleveland with buses coming roughly every 12 minutes.

Parking

Case Western Reserve does not manage its parking lots (Standard Parking manages the lots) and two parking
garages, one at the Village at 115 (Lot S-46) and the other near the Veale Athletic Center (Lot S-53). Students,
faculty, and staff purchase permits from the university,[21] excluding the summer.

Undergraduate pr ofile

The six most popular majors highly ranked for graduates were Biomedical Engineering, Biology/Biological
Sciences, Social Work, Nursing, Mechanical Engineering, and Psychology. CWRU's undergraduate community
is particularly well known for having a heavy focus on the fields of medicine and engineering.

The Class of 2020 had 79 percent of students from out of the state of Ohio, 16 percent from outside of the
United States. 71 percent graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class. The mid-50% for SAT
scores (25% - 75%) were between 1310 and 1470. The mid-50% for ACT scores was 30 to 34
(superscored).[38]

Schools and programs

The university in its present form consists of eight schools:[39]

College of Arts and Sciences (1826)

School of Dental Medicine (1892)
Case School of Engineering (1880)
School of Law (1892)
Weatherhead School of Management (1952)
School of Medicine
'University Program' (1843)
'College Program' at Cleveland Clinic (2002)
Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing (1898)
Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences (1915)

Case also supports over a hundred 'Centers' in various fields.[40]

Naming controversy

In 2003, the university unveiled a new logo and branding campaign that
emphasized the "Case" portion of its name. In 2006, interim university
president Gregory Eastwood convened a task group to study reactions to
the campaign. The panel's report indicated that it had gone so poorly that, The controversial "Case" logo.
"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."[41]

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.[42] In an open letter to the university
community, interim president Eastwood admitted that "the university had misplaced its own history and
traditions."[43]

Student body

As of 2014, the university had 4,911 undergraduate students and 5,860 graduate and professional students.[44]
The undergraduate student body hails from all 50 states and over 100 countries.[45]

Research
Following is a partial list of major contributions made by faculty, staff,
and students at Case Western Reserve:

Case Western Reserve was the site of the famous Michelson-

Morley interferometer experiment, conducted in 1887 by Albert
A. Michelson of Case Institute of Technology and Edward W.
Morley of Western Reserve University. This experiment proved
the non-existence of the ether, and provided circumstantial
evidence to substantiate Einstein's special theory of relativity
(Profs. Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley, 1887).
Albert A. Michelson, who became the first American to win a
Nobel Prize in science, taught at Case Institute of Technology. He
won the prize in physics in 1907.
Edward W. Morley, in 1895, made the most precise (to that date)
determination of the atomic weight of oxygen, the basis for
calculating the weights of all other elements.
Dayton C. Miller, in 1896, performed the first full X-ray of the
human bodyon himself.
George W. Crile, in 1905, performed the first modern blood
transfusion, using a coupling device to connect blood vessels. Allen Memorial Medical Library.
Roger G. Perkins, in 1912, pioneered drinking water chlorination
to eradicate typhoid bacilli.
Henry J. Gerstenberger, in 1915, developed simulated infant
formula.
Claude S. Beck, in 1935, pioneered surgical treatment of
coronary artery disease.
Frederick S. Cross, in the 1950s, developed the first heart-lung
machine used during open heart surgery.
Claude S. Beck, in 1947, performed the first successful lifesaving
defibrillation of the human heart and developed cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR).
Robert Kearns, in 1964, invented the intermittent windshield
wiper used in most modern automobiles.
Frederick Reines, in 1965, first detected neutrinos created by DEXTER, Team Case's autonomous car,

innovative particle detectors. Case Western Reserve had selected
Prof. Reines as chair of the physics department based on Reines's
work that first detected neutrinos emitted from a nuclear reactorwork for which Reines shared a 1995
Nobel Prize.[46]
Eric Baer, in 1967, pioneered the materials science of polymers and created the first comprehensive
polymer science and engineering department at a major U.S. university.
Joseph F. Fagan, in 1987, developed a test for infants to identify mental retardation within one year of
birth.

collaborators developed an artificial larynx, developed the theory of rational counterfactuals, computer
bluffing as well as establishing the relationship between artificial intelligence and the theory of
information asymmetry.
Roger Quinn, in 2001, developed robots such as Whegs that mimic cockroaches and other crawling
insects Case Biorobotics Lab[47]
In 2007, a team from Case Western Reserve participated in the DARPA Urban Challenge with a robotic
car named DEXTER. Team Case placed as one of 36 semi-finalists.[48] DEXTER was the only car in the
race without any seating for humans, and the only one built from scratch as a robot car.[49]
Today, the university operates several facilities off campus for scientific research. One notable example of this
is the Warner and Swasey Observatory at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.

Student life
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. Both have gigabit ethernet network access and the wired
network is one of the fastest that exists. A wireless campus network is also available in all buildings on campus
and ranked as one of the fastest by Intel in 2005. 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 that
come with air conditioning, a full kitchen area, and full-sized beds.

Residence Life at Case Western Reserve has a recent history of being liberal in its policies, including allowing
co-ed suites (an option offered to non-freshman students, when requested and agreed upon by all occupants of a
suite) and several co-ed floors for freshmen, as well as a three-day guest policy. Pets are allowed except for
dogs, cats, ferrets, and a few other small mammals, but requests are granted discussion.

3rd year students who are allowed to live off campus through graduate students have several university owned,
university controlled, and independent apartment options.

A campus shuttle runs to Coventry Village, a shopping district in neighboring Cleveland Heights. Cleveland's
Little Italy is within walking distance. Legacy Village, Severance Center, and Shaker Square shopping centers
are all within driving distance or accessible by RTA.

Tragedy struck the university on 25 August 2014, when a Cessna 172R plane with 4 students on board,
including the pilot, crashed shortly after taking off from Cuyahoga County Airport, killing all four.[50]

Music

WRUW-FM (91.1 FM) is the campus radio station of Case Western Reserve University. Its motto "More
Music, Fewer Hits" can be seen adorning the rear bumpers of many vehicles in the area. WRUW broadcasts at
a power of 15,000 watts and covers most of Northeast Ohio 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

WRUW is staffed by Case Western Reserve students and community volunteers. The station's format can be
classified as non-commercial "variety."

Case Western Reserve is also home to several performing ensembles, including a cappella groups such as
Dhamakapella, the Case Men's Glee Club,[51] Case Women's Glee Club,[52] Case in Point, Speakeasy, Bigger
Than A Breadbox, and Solstice. Other ensembles include the Case/University Circle Symphony Orchestra,
Camerata Chamber Orchestra, Case/CIM Baroque Orchestra, Concert Choir, Early Music Singers, Jazz
Ensemble 1 and 2, Marching Spartans, Percussion Ensemble, Symphonic Winds, University Singers,
Collegium Musicum, New Music Ensemble, Wind Ensemble, and Chamber Music.[53]

Case Western Reserve has two main rehearsal spaces for performing arts music majors and school ensembles.
Hadyn Hall contains practice rooms with Steinway pianos, along with the department offices. Denison Hall
serves as a rehearsal, practice, and teaching space for the music students and school ensembles, and is attached
to Wade Commons. The Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony also rehearses in Denison Hall. Music majors take
lessons at the Cleveland Institute of Music.

For performances, all students, ensembles, and cappella groups use Harkness Chapel. The bands and orchestra
also perform at Severance Hall (the on-campus home of the Cleveland Orchestra) and CIM's Kulas Hall.

Computing

Case Western Reserve had the first ABET-accredited program in computer engineering.[54]
Case Western Reserve had the first ABET-accredited program in computer engineering.[54]

In 1968, the university formed a private company, Chi Corporation, to provide computer time to both it and
other customers. Initially this was on a Univac 1108 (replacing the preceding UNIVAC 1107), 36 bit, one's
complement machine.[55] The company was sold in 1977 to Robert G. Benson in Beachwood, Ohio.

Project Logos, under ARPA contract, was begun within the department on a DEC System-10 (later converted to
TENEX (BBN) in conjunction with connection to the ARPANET) 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. Graphics and animation became another
departmental focus with the acquisition of an Evans & Sutherland LDS-1 (Line Drawing System-1), which was
hosted by the DEC System-10, and later with the acquisition of the stand-alone LDS-2.

Case Western Reserve was one of the earliest universities connected to the ARPANET, predecessor to the
Internet. ARPANET went online in 1969; Case Western Reserve was connected in January, 1971.[56] Case
Western Reserve graduate Ken Biba published the Biba Integrity Model in 1977 and served on the ARPA
Working Group that developed the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) used on the Internet.

Case Western Reserve pioneered the early Free-net computer 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.[57]

At the inaugural meeting in October, 1996, Case Western Reserve was one of the 34 charter university
members of Internet2.[58]

The university was ranked No. 1 in Yahoo Internet Life's 1999 Most Wired College list.[59] There was a
perception that this award was obtained through partially false or inaccurate information submitted for the
survey,[60] 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.[61][62] The
university had previously placed No. 13 in the 1997 poll.[63]

In August 2003, Case Western Reserve joined the Internet Streaming Media Alliance, then one of only two
university members.[64]

In September 2003, Case Western Reserve opened 1,230 public wireless access points on the Case Western
Reserve campus and University Circle.[65]

Case Western Reserve was one of the founding members of OneCleveland, formed in October 2003.[66]
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 is also known for its Virtual Worlds gaming computer lab, which opened in 2005. The
lab has a large network of Alienware PCs equipped with game development software such as the Torque Game
Engine and Maya 3D modeling software. Additionally, it contains a number of specialized advanced computing
rooms including a medical simulation room, a MIDI instrument music room, a 3D projection "immersion
room," a virtual reality research room, and console room, which features video game systems such as Xbox
360, PlayStation 3, and Wii.[67] 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.

Case Western's Internet Technology Service also runs a High Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC) utilizing
2684 processors over 200 computer nodes interconnected with gigabit fiberoptic ethernet. The HPCC is
available for research utilizing a wide array of commercial and custom scientific software packages and
computer languages including: Matlab, Mathematica, Ansys CFX Fluent and ICEM, Schrdinger, LAMMPS,
Gaussian, NEURON, MCell, Python, Qhull, Sundials, Charmm/qchem, Rosetta, Gromacs, NAMD, C, C++,
Fortran.

Housing

First-year students are grouped into one of four residential colleges that 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.[68] Magnolia now includes Clarke Tower,
which also houses second year students as well as first year students.

The residential colleges plan events together and are run by college councils that take student input and use it to
plan social and community service-oriented activities.

Greek life

Nearly one-half of the campus undergraduates are in a fraternity or sorority. There are nine sororities and
seventeen fraternities currently on campus. Greek organizations are governed by an Interfraternity Council and
Panhellenic Council. During the 20102011 school year, fraternities and sororities at Case collectively raised
over $45,375 for philanthropy.[69] In September 2010, the Delta Chi fraternity joined the Greek community,
achieving chapter status in October 2012. In September 2012, Pi Beta Phi sorority began a colonization effort.
In the Spring of 2013, Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity began colonization efforts as well. In the Spring of 2014, a

Safety and Security

Office of Emergency Management

The Office of Emergency Management prepares for various levels of emergencies on campus, such as chemical
spills, severe weather, infectious diseases, and security threats. RAVE, a multi-platform emergency alerting
system, is operated by Emergency Management for issuing emergency alerts and instructions for events on
campus. The Office of Emergency Management also performs risk assessment to identify possible safety issues
and aims to mitigate these issues. Additionally, CERT is managed through Emergency Management, enabling
faculty and staff members to engage in emergency preparedness. The Office of Emergency Management works
closely with other campus departments, such as Police and Security Services, University Health Services, and
Environmental Health and Safety, as well as community resources including city, state, and federal emergency
management agencies.[70]

Police and Security Services

Case operates a police force of sworn officers as well as a security officers. Starting as security only, the
university expanded the role of protective services to include sworn officers who have arrest power and carry
firearms. Some officers have additional training, such as SWAT training. On top of routine duties such as
fingerprinting, traffic control, and bicycle registration, police and security also conduct investigations,
undercover operations, and community outreach. Police and Security operate a fleet of vehicles, including
police cruisers, scooters, and Smart cars. Police and Security are dispatched by a 24/7 campus dispatch center,
responsible for emergency call handling, alarm monitoring, and video surveillance. Additionally, the dispatch
center can send RAVE notifications and manages CWRU Shield, a mobile application allowing video, image,
and text tips, safety checks, and viewing emergency procedures.[71] CWRU Police also works closely with RTA
transit police, University Circle Police, Cleveland Police, East Cleveland Police, Cleveland Heights Police,
University Hospitals Police Department, and other surrounding emergency services. Police and Security, with
conjunction with the Emergency Management Office, conduct tabletop drills and full-scale exercises involving
surrounding emergency services.[72]

Emergency Medical Services

Case Western Reserve University Emergency Medical Services (CWRU EMS) is a student-run all volunteer
ambulance service and a National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation member. Covering
University Circle with particular emphasis on campus housing, CWRU EMS provides free basic life support
level treatment and transport to University Hospitals Case Medical Center and Cleveland Clinic Foundation
Main Campus. CWRU EMS started as a quick response service but has since become a transport service with
two ambulances. Crews consist of at least at least two Ohio EMTs and receive medical direction from
University Hospitals. CWRU works closely with the Office of Emergency Management and Police and
Security Services. Additionally, CWRU EMS plans and executes an annual full-scale Mass Casualty Incident
Drill where other campus and public agencies participate in simulated patient treatment and incident command.
When not in service or when additional resources are required, Cleveland EMS, Cleveland Fire, or Cleveland
Heights Fire can be called.[73]

Traditions

Starting in 1910, the Hudson Relay is an annual relay race event remembering and honoring the university
relocation from Hudson, Ohio to Cleveland. Conceived by then-student, Monroe Curtis,[74] 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 years1982, 1990, 1994, 2006, 2011, and
2017.[75][76] The winning classes of each year is carved on an original boulder located behind Adelbert 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 or Adelbert Gym.

Halloween at the Farm is a tradition established in the fall of 2002. Halloween at the Farm takes place at the
Squire Valleevue Farm in Hunting Valley, Ohio. Students, their families, and faculty are invited to enjoy games,
a bonfire, an open-air concert and hay rides. Organized by the members of the Class Officer Collective, HATF
is one of the biggest events of the year. In the fall of 2009 the event was moved to the main campus and
renamed "Halloween at Home".

Since 1974, the Film Society[77] of Case Western Reserve University has held a science fiction marathon. The
film festival, the oldest of its type, boasts more than 34 hours of non-stop movies, cartoons, trailers, and shorts
spanning many decades and subgenres.

Alumni associations
Throughout the years, many higher education institutions merged to form what is now known as Case Western
Reserve University.

The Alumni Association of Case Western Reserve University is the primary alumni association for any alumni
who have attended CWRU for at least one semester.[85]
The Case Alumni Association (CAA) is one of the oldest independent alumni organization in the United States,
having been organized in 1885.[86] Membership in the Association is conferred upon all graduates of the Case
School of Applied Science, Case Institute of Technology, Case School of Engineering, and the mathematics and
science departments within the College of Arts and Sciences.

CAA recently expanded its reach by establishing chapters (Case Clubs) in various U.S. cities, including
Washington, D.C., Silicon Valley, San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Boston.[87]

Cultural references
The 1997 Air Force One was in part filmed on Case campus. The opening scene depicting the

Orchestra adjacent to Case campus. Also seen are several landmarks of Case including the Thwing
Center (the student union) and the Allen Memorial Medical Library.
In "Drew's Cousin," a 1998 installment of The Drew Carey Show's third season, the episode's namesake
mentions to Drew that she "got into Case Western."
In the 1999 film Being John Malkovich, Mary Kay Place's character Floris is mentioned to have
