| content | sioc:content | President Cady Staley resigned in 1902 leaving behind a rising School with an engineering focus and nine buildings. The second President of Case, Charles Howe, was a renowned engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when U.S. entered World War I, the trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. The fall of year 1918 also brought a month-long quarantine in October/November due to the Spanish flu outbreak. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. On November 11, 1918, Theodore M. Focke became Case's first Dean. As the Dean, he handled student affairs related duties such as administration of class schedules, exam schedules, admissions of transfer students, grades, discipline, entrance exams for upper classmen, absences, and student advising. The addition of a Dean was just another sign that the School was moving towards offering students a more well-rounded academic experience. One of the first changes in this direction was the opening of Case Club in 1915. Case Club offered space for the Case Athletic Association, student clubs, and physical education and included a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alley, dining room, and several offices. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved changing the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and Western Reserve University resulted in the trustees of the two institutions to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible.
Departments, 1900-1929
Department of Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.The first B.S. in Chemical Engineering was awarded in 1915 and the first M.S. was awarded in 1922. In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Department of PhysicsDue to Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller agreed to fund the construction of two buildings: Rockefeller Physics building and Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, with technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of Rockefeller Physics in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments. W. H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students. In 1925, the department also installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Christian Nusbaum. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of ether drift detection started by Michelson. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable of recording sound waves - the phonodeik. His experience in acoustics aided the U. S. government during World War I, conducting research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Howe became the second president of Case and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Theodore Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey. Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920. The Warner & Swasey Observatory was located on a hill on Taylor Road at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Department of Civil EngineeringSimilar to other School departments, the Civil Engineering Department focused on remaining current with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered courses in railroad engineering, highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering diminished by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Case Main and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus surveying camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynesburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Department until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building (Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy). The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory was devoted to machine work and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson sharper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westinghouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. In 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Arctic Ice Machine Company. Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing; Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. World War I slowed the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern space. In 1925, Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. His son William gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The building was equipped with modern equipment and allowed for expansion. In addition to everything that was available in the old building, a Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory was added.The new space and equipment also allowed for curriculum expansion. The Department had two departments chairs during this period, Dr. Robert H. Fernald between1907-1913 and Dr. F. H. Vose, between 1913-1945. Top
Department of Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringThe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its new building, the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining Department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907. In 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into separate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). The department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910. In 1928 Edith Paula Chartkoff received a M.S. in Metallurgy being the first woman to graduate from Case School.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. In 1907, the department began organizing out-of-town practice term trips, starting with mines and metallurgical plants in upper Michigan. These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U. S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top
Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first M.S. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurgy, Electrical Laboratory, Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wayne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Niagara Falls, the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

His experience in acoustics aided the U. S. government during World War I, conducting research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Howe became the second president of Case and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Theodore Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey. Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920. The Warner & Swasey Observatory was located on a hill on Taylor Road at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Department of Civil EngineeringSimilar to other School departments, the Civil Engineering Department focused on remaining current with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered courses in railroad engineering, highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering diminished by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Case Main and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus surveying camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynesburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Department until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building (Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy). The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory was devoted to machine work and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson sharper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westinghouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. In 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Arctic Ice Machine Company. Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing; Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. World War I slowed the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern space. In 1925, Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. His son William gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The building was equipped with modern equipment and allowed for expansion. In addition to everything that was available in the old building, a Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory was added.The new space and equipment also allowed for curriculum expansion. The Department had two departments chairs during this period, Dr. Robert H. Fernald between1907-1913 and Dr. F. H. Vose, between 1913-1945. Top
Department of Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringThe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its new building, the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining Department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907. In 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into separate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). The department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. In 1907, the department began organizing out-of-town practice term trips, starting with mines and metallurgical plants in upper Michigan. These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U. S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top
Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first M.S. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurgy, Electrical Laboratory, Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wayne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Niagara Falls, the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

| content | sioc:content | President Cady Staley resigned in 1902 leaving behind a rising School with an engineering focus and nine buildings. The second President of Case, Charles Howe, was a renowned engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when U.S. entered World War I, the trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. The fall of year 1918 also brought a month-long quarantine in October/November due to the Spanish flu outbreak. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. On November 11, 1918, Theodore M. Focke became Case's first Dean. As the Dean, he handled student affairs related duties such as administration of class schedules, exam schedules, admissions of transfer students, grades, discipline, entrance exams for upper classmen, absences, and student advising. The addition of a Dean was just another sign that the School was moving towards offering students a more well-rounded academic experience. One of the first changes in this direction was the opening of Case Club in 1915. Case Club offered space for the Case Athletic Association, student clubs, and physical education and included a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alley, dining room, and several offices. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved changing the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and Western Reserve University resulted in the trustees of the two institutions to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible.
Departments, 1900-1929
Department of Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.The first B.S. in Chemical Engineering was awarded in 1915 and the first M.S. was awarded in 1922. In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Department of PhysicsDue to Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller agreed to fund the construction of two buildings: Rockefeller Physics building and Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, with technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of Rockefeller Physics in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments. W. H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students. In 1925, the department also installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Christian Nusbaum. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of ether drift detection started by Michelson. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable of recording sound waves - the phonodeik.

Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurgy, Electrical Laboratory, Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wayne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Niagara Falls, the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

| content | sioc:content | President Cady Staley resigned in 1902 leaving behind a rising School with an engineering focus and nine buildings. The second President of Case, Charles Howe, was a renowned engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when U.S. entered World War I, the trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. The fall of year 1918 also brought a month-long quarantine in October/November due to the Spanish flu outbreak. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. On November 11, 1918, Theodore M. Focke became Case's first Dean. As the Dean, he handled student affairs related duties such as administration of class schedules, exam schedules, admissions of transfer students, grades, discipline, entrance exams for upper classmen, absences, and student advising. The addition of a Dean was just another sign that the School was moving towards offering students a more well-rounded academic experience. One of the first changes in this direction was the opening of Case Club in 1915. Case Club offered space for the Case Athletic Association, student clubs, and physical education and included a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alley, dining room, and several offices. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved changing the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and Western Reserve University resulted in the trustees of the two institutions to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible.
Departments, 1900-1929
Department of Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.The first B.S. in Chemical Engineering was awarded in 1915 and the first M.S. was awarded in 1922. In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Department of PhysicsDue to Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller agreed to fund the construction of two buildings: Rockefeller Physics building and Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, with technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of Rockefeller Physics in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments. W. H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students. In 1925, the department also installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Christian Nusbaum. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of ether drift detection started by Michelson. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable of recording sound waves - the phonodeik. His experience in acoustics aided the U. S. government during World War I, conducting research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Howe became the second president of Case and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Theodore Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey. Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920. The Warner & Swasey Observatory was located on a hill on Taylor Road at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Department of Civil EngineeringSimilar to other School departments, the Civil Engineering Department focused on remaining current with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered courses in railroad engineering, highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering diminished by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Case Main and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus surveying camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynesburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Department until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building (Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy). The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory was devoted to machine work and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson sharper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westinghouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. In 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Arctic Ice Machine Company. Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing; Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. World War I slowed the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern space. In 1925, Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. His son William gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The building was equipped with modern equipment and allowed for expansion. In addition to everything that was available in the old building, a Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory was added.The new space and equipment also allowed for curriculum expansion. The Department had two departments chairs during this period, Dr. Robert H. Fernald between1907-1913 and Dr. F. H. Vose, between 1913-1945. Top
Department of Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringThe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its new building, the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining Department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907. In 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into separate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). The department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. In 1907, the department began organizing out-of-town practice term trips, starting with mines and metallurgical plants in upper Michigan. These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U. S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top
Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first M.S. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurgy, Electrical Laboratory, Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wayne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Niagara Falls, the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings held once each week.

By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Christian Nusbaum. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of ether drift detection started by Michelson. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable of recording sound waves - the phonodeik. His experience in acoustics aided the U. S. government during World War I, conducting research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Howe became the second president of Case and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Theodore Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey. Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920. The Warner & Swasey Observatory was located on a hill on Taylor Road at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Department of Civil EngineeringSimilar to other School departments, the Civil Engineering Department focused on remaining current with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered courses in railroad engineering, highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering diminished by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Case Main and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus surveying camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynesburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Department until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building (Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy). The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory was devoted to machine work and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson sharper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westinghouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. In 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Arctic Ice Machine Company. Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing; Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. World War I slowed the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern space. In 1925, Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. His son William gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The building was equipped with modern equipment and allowed for expansion. In addition to everything that was available in the old building, a Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory was added.The new space and equipment also allowed for curriculum expansion. The Department had two departments chairs during this period, Dr. Robert H. Fernald between1907-1913 and Dr. F. H. Vose, between 1913-1945. Top
Department of Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringThe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its new building, the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining Department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907. In 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into separate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). The department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. In 1907, the department began organizing out-of-town practice term trips, starting with mines and metallurgical plants in upper Michigan. These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U. S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top
Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first M.S. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurgy, Electrical Laboratory, Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wayne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Niagara Falls, the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

| content | sioc:content | President Cady Staley resigned in 1902 leaving behind a rising School with an engineering focus and nine buildings. The second President of Case, Charles Howe, was a renowned engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when U.S. entered World War I, the trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. The fall of year 1918 also brought a month-long quarantine in October/November due to the Spanish flu outbreak. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. On November 11, 1918, Theodore M. Focke became Case's first Dean. As the Dean, he handled student affairs related duties such as administration of class schedules, exam schedules, admissions of transfer students, grades, discipline, entrance exams for upper classmen, absences, and student advising. The addition of a Dean was just another sign that the School was moving towards offering students a more well-rounded academic experience. One of the first changes in this direction was the opening of Case Club in 1915. Case Club offered space for the Case Athletic Association, student clubs, and physical education and included a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alley, dining room, and several offices. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved changing the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and Western Reserve University resulted in the trustees of the two institutions to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible.
Departments, 1900-1929
Department of Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.The first B.S. in Chemical Engineering was awarded in 1915 and the first M.S. was awarded in 1922. In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Department of PhysicsDue to Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller agreed to fund the construction of two buildings: Rockefeller Physics building and Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, with technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of Rockefeller Physics in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments. W. H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students.

These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U. S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top
Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first M.S. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurgy, Electrical Laboratory, Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wayne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Niagara Falls, the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

| content | sioc:content | President Cady Staley resigned in 1902 leaving behind a rising School with an engineering focus and five buildings. The second President of Case, Charles Howe, was a renowned engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when U.S. entered World War I, the trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. The fall of year 1918 also brought a month-long quarantine in October/November due to the Spanish flu outbreak. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. On November 11, 1918, Theodore M. Focke becameCase's first Dean. As the Dean, he handled student affairs related duties such as administration of class schedules, exam schedules, admissions of transfer students, grades, discipline, entrance exams for upper classmen, absences, and student advising. The addition of a Dean was just another sign that the School was moving towards offering students a more well-rounded academic experience. One of the first changes in this direction was the opening of Case Club in 1915. Case Club offered space for the Case Athletic Association, student clubs, and physical education and included a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alley, dining room, and several offices. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved changing the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and Western Reserve University resulted in the trustees of the two institutions to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible.
Departments, 1900-1929
Department of Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.The first degree in Chemical Engineering was awarded in 1909, then in 1915, the first B.S. in Chemical Engineering was awarded. The first M.S. was awarded in 1922. In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Department of PhysicsDue to Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller agreed to fund the construction of two buildings: Rockefeller Physics building and Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, with technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of Rockefeller Physics in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments. W. H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students. In 1925, the department also installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Christian Nusbaum. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of ether drift detection started by Michelson. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable of recording sound waves - the phonodeik. His experience in acoustics aided the U. S. government during World War I, conducting research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Howe became the second president of Case and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Theodore Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey. Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920. The Warner & Swasey Observatory was located on a hill on Taylor Road at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Department of Civil EngineeringSimilar to other School departments, the Civil Engineering Department focused on remaining current with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered courses in railroad engineering, highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering diminished by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Case Main and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus surveying camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynesburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Department until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building (Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy). The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory was devoted to machine work and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westinghouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. In 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Arctic Ice Machine Company. Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing; Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. World War I slowed the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern space. In 1925, Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. His son William gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The building was equipped with modern equipment and allowed for expansion. In addition to everything that was available in the old building, a Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory was added.The new space and equipment also allowed for curriculum expansion. Top
Department of Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringThe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its new building, the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining Department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907. In 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into separate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). The department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. By 1907, the department awarded degrees of Engineer in Mining and Metallurgical Engineer. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design.

In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Department of PhysicsDue to Dr. Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller accepted to fund the construction of two buildings, the Rockefeller Physics building and the Rockeffeler Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used until current times.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, both as technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of the Physics laboratory in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments and Dr. W.H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students. In 1925, the Department also installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by Dr. John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Dr. Christian Nusbaum. Dr. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of aether drift detection started by Michelson, and confirmed the null results in 1904. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable to record sound waves., phodeik. His experience in acoustics aided the U.S. Government during the WWI research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Warner and Swaysey, two local >>> . Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920.The Warner and Swasey Observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Department of Civil EngineeringLike the other School departments, the Civil Engineering department was focusing on keeping up with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering reduced by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Main building and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly.The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building. The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering laboratory was devoted to machine work exclusive and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. in 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Artic Ice Machine Company.Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. The WWI slowed a little the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering, support that was continued by his son, who gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The new building was equipped with up-to-the minute equipment and allowed for expansions. In addition to everything that was available in the old building, a Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory was added.The new space and equipment also allowed for curricula expansion. Top
Department of Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringThe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its own building, the Rockefeller Laboratory for Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907, and in 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into seperate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). the department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. By 1907, the department awarded degrees of Engineer in Mining and MetallurgicalEngineer. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. In 1907, the department started organizing out of town practice term trips, starting with mines and metalurgical plants in the Upper Michigan. These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U.S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top
Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while still having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first MS. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory , Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and the neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wyne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and in 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Ningara Falls, the General Electric Company at Schnectady and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings being held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

| content | sioc:content | President Cady Staley resigned in 1902 leaving behind an uprising School with engineering focus and four buildings. The second President of Case, Dr. Charles Howe, was a renown engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was observed a decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when US entered World War I, the Trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. The fall of year 1918 also brought a month-long quarantine in October/November due to the Spanish flu outbreak. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. On November 11, 1918, Theodore M. Focke became the first Case's first Dean. As the Dean, he handled student affairs related duties such as administration of class schedules, exam schedules, admissions of transfer students, grades, discipline, entrance exams for upper classmen, absences, and student advising. The addition of a Dean was just another sign that the School was trying to offer students a more well-rounded experience. One of the first changes in this direction was the opening of Case Club in 1915. Case Club offered space for the Case Athletic Association, student clubs, Case Physical Education and included a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alley, dining room, and several offices. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved to change the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and the Western Reserve University determined the Trustees of the two schools to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible.

Department of Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringThe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its own building, the Rockefeller Laboratory for Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907, and in 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into seperate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). the department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. By 1907, the department awarded degrees of Engineer in Mining and MetallurgicalEngineer. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. In 1907, the department started organizing out of town practice term trips, starting with mines and metalurgical plants in the Upper Michigan. These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U.S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top
Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while still having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first MS. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory , Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and the neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wyne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and in 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Ningara Falls, the General Electric Company at Schnectady and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings being held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

| content | sioc:content | President Cady Staley resigned in 1902 leaving behind an uprising School with engineering focus and four buildings. The second President of Case, Dr. Charles Howe, was a renown engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was observed a decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when US entered World War I, the Trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Secondly, the Spanish flu outbreak brought a month-long quarantine in October/November 1918. dean for students - organizational changes - why? Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved to change the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and the Western Reserve University determined the Trustees of the two schools to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible.
Departments, 1900-1929
Department of Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.The first degree in Chemical Engineering was awarded in 1909, then in 1915, the first B.S. in Chemical Engineering was awarded. The first M.S. was awarded much later in 1922. In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Department of PhysicsDue to Dr. Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller accepted to fund the construction of two buildings, the Rockefeller Physics building and the Rockeffeler Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used until current times.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, both as technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of the Physics laboratory in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments and Dr. W.H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students. In 1925, the Deartment also installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by Dr. John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Dr. Christian Nusbaum. Dr. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of aether drift detection started by Michelson, and confirmed the null results in 1904. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. . He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable to record sound waves., phodeik. His experience in acoustics aided the U.S. Government during the WWI research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Warner and Swaysey, two local >>> . Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920.The Warner and Swasey Observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Department of Civil EngineeringLike the other School departments, the Civil Engineering department was focusing on keeping up with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering reduced by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Main building and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly.The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building. The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering laboratory was devoted to machine work exclusive and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. in 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Artic Ice Machine Company.Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. The WWI slowed a little the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering, support that was continued by his son, who gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The new building was equipped with up-to-the minute equipment and allowed for expansions.

Rockefeller accepted to fund the construction of two buildings, the Rockefeller Physics building and the Rockeffeler Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used until current times.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, both as technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of the Physics laboratory in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments and Dr. W.H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students. In 1925, the Deartment also installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by Dr. John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Dr. Christian Nusbaum. Dr. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of aether drift detection started by Michelson, and confirmed the null results in 1904. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. . He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable to record sound waves., phodeik. His experience in acoustics aided the U.S. Government during the WWI research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Warner and Swaysey, two local >>> . Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920.The Warner and Swasey Observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Department of Civil EngineeringLike the other School departments, the Civil Engineering department was focusing on keeping up with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering reduced by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Main building and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly.The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building. The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering laboratory was devoted to machine work exclusive and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. in 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Artic Ice Machine Company.Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. The WWI slowed a little the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering, support that was continued by his son, who gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The new building was equipped with up-to-the minute equipment and allowed for expansions. In addition to everything that was available in the old building, a Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory was added.The new space and equipment also allowed for curricula expansion. Top
Department of Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringThe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its own building, the Rockefeller Laboratory for Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907, and in 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into seperate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). the department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. By 1907, the department awarded degrees of Engineer in Mining and MetallurgicalEngineer. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. In 1907, the department started organizing out of town practice term trips, starting with mines and metalurgical plants in the Upper Michigan. These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U.S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top
Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while still having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first MS. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory , Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and the neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wyne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and in 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Ningara Falls, the General Electric Company at Schnectady and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings being held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

The second President of Case, Dr. Charles Howe, was a renown engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was observed a decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when US entered World War I, the Trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Secondly, the Spanish flu outbreak brought a month-long quarantine in October/November 1918. dean for students - organizational changes - why? Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved to change the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and the Western Reserve University determined the Trustees of the two schools to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported 1926 that such a merger would be impossible.

Department of Electrical EngineeringThe Electrical Engineering department was also striving to keep up with the increased demand for electrical engineers and the diversification of industry needs. To increase the number of courses offered by the department while still having a limited number of faculty, the department invited engineers from local companies like the General Electric Company and the Welsbach Company to teach additional courses. In 1925, the department awarded the first MS. to T .D. Owens.By 1901, the department offered courses in Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory , Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways. Over time, course offerings were expanded to meet the demands of the time. By 1915, a course in the Science and the Art of Illumination was offered to seniors students. To offer students opportunities for practical experience, the department added inspection trips to various electrical companies in Cleveland and the neighboring cities in 1903. These inspection trips continued for many years. In 1925, the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wyne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and in 1927, the inspection trips took the juniors to Ningara Falls, the General Electric Company at Schnectady and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C. Recognizing the value of professional associations, the junior and senior students formed the Electrical Engineering Club in 1908, with meetings being held once each week. Most of the electrical engineering students were affiliated with the Cleveland Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering that invited outstanding engineers to give lectures on campus.

| content | sioc:content | President Cady Staley resigned in 1902 leaving behind an uprising School with engineering focus and four buildings. The second President of Case, Dr. Charles Howe, was a renown engineering education scholar who helped establish engineering education at national level. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was observed a decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when US entered World War I, the Trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Secondly, the Spanish flu outbreak brought a month-long quarantine in October/November 1918. dean for students - organizational changes - why? Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved to change the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches. In the early 1920’s, the strong push from local leaders to create a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and the Western Reserve University determined the Trustees of the two schools to appoint a commission to study the merger. In 1926, The joint statement from the two institutions reported 1926 that such a merger would be impossible.
Departments, 1900-1929
Department of Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.The first degree in Chemical Engineering was awarded in 1909, then in 1915, the first B.S. in Chemical Engineering was awarded. The first M.S. was awarded much later in 1922. In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Department of PhysicsDue to Dr. Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller accepted to fund the construction of two buildings, the Rockefeller Physics building and the Rockeffeler Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used until current times.The Physics department was at the forefront of the advancements in the field, both as technology and course offerings. With the help of the United States Weather Bureau, the department installed a weather station on the roof of the Physics laboratory in 1916. The station was equipped with a complete set of meteorological instruments and Dr. W.H. Alexander, the official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to Case students. In 1925, the Deartment also installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. By 1922, the course offerings included a course in Theory of Radio Communication taught by Dr. John R. Martin and courses in X-Ray and Crystal Structures that were taught by Dr. Christian Nusbaum. Dr. Dayton Miller, in collaboration with Edward Morley, continued the experiments of aether drift detection started by Michelson, and confirmed the null results in 1904. His work resulted in developing the most sensitive interferometer in the world at that time. Miller had many research interests, including x-rays and acoustics. He was the first to take a full body x-ray. . He had an impressive collections of flutes he used to develop a machine capable to record sound waves., phodeik. His experience in acoustics aided the U.S. Government during the WWI research on sound and shell shock. Top
Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. The department opened a new Observatory in 1920 with the generous support of Warner and Swaysey, two local >>> . Its dedication meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory," which functioned between 1897-1920.The Warner and Swasey Observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. Top Civil Engineering DepartmentLike the other School departments, the Civil Engineering department was focusing on keeping up with new developments and the industry needs. Thus, in 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. However, when the importance of railroad engineering reduced by 1929, the department's emphasis changed to highway engineering and mechanics of structures.The Department occupied twelve rooms in the Main building and used the campus and adjacent grounds to teach surveying. In 1907, the rooms were used as recitation rooms, drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contained 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. "The instrument room contained a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' To increase practical opportunities for students, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp in 1907. Known as Case Camp, the location moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. Top
Department of Mechanical EngineeringCleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly.The beginning of the new century was a little difficult for the department due to several staff turnovers but the growing demand for trained mechanical engineers to fulfill industrial needs required course expansion and additions to the staff. The growth of the department was supported by the generous equipment gifts from the local firms.The department shared the Mechanical Engineering laboratory building with the Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, when the Mining Department moved to their new building. The main floor of the Mechanical Engineering laboratory was devoted to machine work exclusive and the pattern making space was located on the 2nd floor. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. In 1909, the shop added a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill. In 1918 the drafting room was improved by the addition of a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer. In 1903, the department added a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings. The power plant was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power. in 1906, the department accepted a donation of a five ton refrigerating plant, several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor from the Artic Ice Machine Company.Courses offered in 1920 included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. The WWI slowed a little the growth of the department, but the rhythm accelerated after the war. The increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering, support that was continued by his son, who gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The new building was equipped with up-to-the minute equipment and allowed for expansions. In addition to everything that was available in the old building, a Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory was added.The new space and equipment also allowed for curricula expansion. Top
Mining and Metallurgical Engineeringthe beginning of the century brought many changes for the Mining Department. First, in 1903 the department split into the Mining Engineering and the Geology and Mineralogy departments. After moving to its own building, the Rockefeller Laboratory for Mining and Metallurgy in 1905, the Mining department changed its name to Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in 1907, and in 1908, the curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into seperate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer). the department changed its name again in 1922 to Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. The first designated degree in mining was awarded in 1903. By 1907, the department awarded degrees of Engineer in Mining and MetallurgicalEngineer. The first B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering was awarded in 1910.By 1911, the Mining and Metallurgy department offered courses in topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. In 1907, the department started organizing out of town practice term trips, starting with mines and metalurgical plants in the Upper Michigan. These trips continued for many years and visited many mines and plants in the U.S. and Canada. In 1903, students from the department organized the Pick and Shovel Club. Top

He also sustained an intense fundraising activity and was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. His leadership made Case School known for its innovative educational program. At his resignation in 1929, Dr. Howe left a well established School, added several new programs By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. However, by 1918 there was observed a decrease in enrollment due to the World War I. In March 1917, when US entered World War I, the Trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Secondly, the Spanish flu outbreak brought a month-long quarantine in October/November 1918. dean for students - organizational changes - why? Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. In early 1920’s, there was a push for creating a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and Western Reserve University. The push was so strong that the Trustees of the two school appointed a commission the study the merger. In 1926, a joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved to change the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches. This format lasted until October 19, 1932, when the Case corporation approved the seal size to be reduced to 1 3/4 inches.
Departments, 1900-1929
Department of Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.The first degree in Chemical Engineering was awarded in 1909, then in 1915, the first B.S. in Chemical Engineering was awarded. The first M.S. was awarded much later in 1922. In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors, and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. Top
Due to Dr. Charles Howe's fundraising efforts, John D. Rockefeller accepted to fund the construction of two buildings, the Rockefeller Physics building and the Rockeffeler Mining and Metallurgy building. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory opened in 1906 and continues to be used until current times. |

Dr. Charles Howe, the second president of Case, sustained an intense fundraising activity, and as a result was able to add two new buildings, the Rockefeller Physics laboratory in 1906, and the Rockefeller Mining and Metallurgy Building. Howe re-instituted demanding entrance exams and made English a requirement for all engineers. Howe was invested in promoting engineering education at national level and he made Case School known for its innovative educational program. By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students and the enrollment was continuously growing. A series of global events, however, severely impacted the School academics, and by 1918 there was observed a decrease in enrollment. First, the enrollment start to decrease by the end of the WW I. In march 1917, when US entered World War I, the Trustees established military drill as a requirement for all students. In August 1918 Case became part of the Student Army Training Corps and military officers took over the instruction and academic programs were accelerated to graduate students faster to go on war duty. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students did Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. Secondly, the Spanish flu outbreak brought a month-long quarantine in October/November 1918.

Focke '92 became Case's first dean. In 1921, classes returned to the way they were before the war. In early 1920’s, there was a push for creating a University of Cleveland by merging CSAS and Western Reserve University. The push was so strong that the Trustees of the two school appointed a commission the study the merger. In 1926, a joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible. At its October 22, 1925 meeting, Case corporation approved to change the seal by adding the word "The" before "Case School of Applied Science" and formally set the size of the seal at 2 1/4 inches.

| content | sioc:content | Case attracted bold scientists and engineers like Professor Harry Fielding Reid who traveled to Alaska in 1890 to explore and map Glacier Bay, or like Professor Dayton C. Miller from the Physics department who in 1895 took first full-length x ray photographs of the human body. By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students from which 178 were mechnanical engineers. The end of the WW I - Undergraduate enrollment decreases 1918 On October 1, 1918 US Army took authority over the CSAS students and established the Student Army Training Corps. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students tool Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. 1924 started a study of a merger with Western Reserve. In 1926, a joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible. As to Case's own objectives, Prof. Fred H. Vose, head of Mechanical Engineering, wrote a one-man opinion that the chief aim of engineering education should be to train students so that they could think clearly, plan and contrive, visualize and conceive. "A brain crowded with facts, but not trained to apply them with understanding and discretion, is a dangerous thing to have at large." He believed in breadth, to include English, history, economics, and business. His disapproval of too much specialization in a four-year course was backed by his citation of Case graduates who held high places in automotive, marine and power engineering, among others, despite their lack of specialized training in those fields. At that time more than 2,500 graduates were as widely dispersed vocationally as they were geographically. Department of Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. . 1909 First degree in Chemical Engin 1915 First BS in Chem Eng 1922 First MS in Chem Eng Physics DepartmentDr. Charles Howe, the second president of Case, approaches John D. Rockefeller for funds for a new Physics Building and a Mining and Metallurgy Building. The money is appropriated and construction of the new Physics Building begins. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory is constructed by the Austin Company and completed and occupied in 1906. In 1910, the first B.S. in Physics was awarded to E.G. Clark.In 1916, the United States Weather Bureau installed a weather station with a complete set of meteorological instrumentshe on the roof of the Physics laboratory with a complete outfit of meteorological instruments. Dr. W.H. Alexander, official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to students. In 1920, the new Warner and Swasey Observatory was opened. The observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. The dedication of the Warner and Swasey Observatory meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory", which functioned between 1897-1920. By 1922, John R. Martin was teaching a course in Theory of Radio Communication and by 1925, the Physics department installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. 1922 Dr. Christian Nusbaum offers X-Ray and Crystal Structures courses (Physics) 1917 Dr. Dayton Miller (Physics) aiding US Government in WWI research on sound and shell shock Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. Civil Engineering DepartmentAfter Staley resignation in 1902, Prof. Neff becomes head of the departments and continues as head until 1931.In 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. The catalogue of 1904-05 says that the large grounds of the college campus, of Wade Park, and of Rockefeller Boulevard, both of the latter adjoining the campus, constitute a field admirably adapted to the work of teaching surveying as far as convenience is concerned, while the natural features of the ground furnish in great variety the open field for chain surveying - the hill, valley and brook for topographical surveying and long arched culverts for mining surveying." In 1907, the Department of Civil Engineering occupies twelve rooms in the Main building. Besides recitation rooms, there are drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contains 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. The instrument room contains a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' In 1907, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp known as Case Camp. The location of the Camp moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. The first M.S. in civil engineering was awareded to S.B. Folk in 1923. By 1929, the importance of railroad engineering reduced and more emphasis was given to the highway engineering and the mechanics of structures.

Miller from the Physics department who in 1895 took first full-length x ray photographs of the human body. By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students from which 178 were mechnanical engineers. The end of the WW I - Undergraduate enrollment decreases 1918 On October 1, 1918 US Army took authority over the CSAS students and established the Student Army Training Corps. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students tool Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. 1924 started a study of a merger with Western Reserve. In 1926, a joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible. As to Case's own objectives, Prof. Fred H. Vose, head of Mechanical Engineering, wrote a one-man opinion that the chief aim of engineering education should be to train students so that they could think clearly, plan and contrive, visualize and conceive. "A brain crowded with facts, but not trained to apply them with understanding and discretion, is a dangerous thing to have at large." He believed in breadth, to include English, history, economics, and business. His disapproval of too much specialization in a four-year course was backed by his citation of Case graduates who held high places in automotive, marine and power engineering, among others, despite their lack of specialized training in those fields. At that time more than 2,500 graduates were as widely dispersed vocationally as they were geographically. Department of Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. . 1909 First degree in Chemical Engin 1915 First BS in Chem Eng 1922 First MS in Chem Eng Physics DepartmentDr. Charles Howe, the second president of Case, approaches John D. Rockefeller for funds for a new Physics Building and a Mining and Metallurgy Building. The money is appropriated and construction of the new Physics Building begins. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory is constructed by the Austin Company and completed and occupied in 1906. In 1910, the first B.S. in Physics was awarded to E.G. Clark.In 1916, the United States Weather Bureau installed a weather station with a complete set of meteorological instrumentshe on the roof of the Physics laboratory with a complete outfit of meteorological instruments. Dr. W.H. Alexander, official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to students. In 1920, the new Warner and Swasey Observatory was opened. The observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. The dedication of the Warner and Swasey Observatory meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory", which functioned between 1897-1920. By 1922, John R. Martin was teaching a course in Theory of Radio Communication and by 1925, the Physics department installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. 1922 Dr. Christian Nusbaum offers X-Ray and Crystal Structures courses (Physics) 1917 Dr. Dayton Miller (Physics) aiding US Government in WWI research on sound and shell shock Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. Civil Engineering DepartmentAfter Staley resignation in 1902, Prof. Neff becomes head of the departments and continues as head until 1931.In 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. The catalogue of 1904-05 says that the large grounds of the college campus, of Wade Park, and of Rockefeller Boulevard, both of the latter adjoining the campus, constitute a field admirably adapted to the work of teaching surveying as far as convenience is concerned, while the natural features of the ground furnish in great variety the open field for chain surveying - the hill, valley and brook for topographical surveying and long arched culverts for mining surveying." In 1907, the Department of Civil Engineering occupies twelve rooms in the Main building. Besides recitation rooms, there are drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contains 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. The instrument room contains a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' In 1907, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp known as Case Camp. The location of the Camp moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. The first M.S. in civil engineering was awareded to S.B. Folk in 1923.

| content | sioc:content | Case attracted bold scientists and engineers like Professor Harry Fielding Reid traveled to Alaska in 1890 to explore and map Glacier Bay or like Professor Dayton C. Miller from the Physics department who in 1895 took first full-length x ray photographs of the human body. By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students from which 178 were mechnanical engineers. The end of the WW I - Undergraduate enrollment decreases 1918 On October 1, 1918 US Army took authority over the CSAS students and established the Student Army Training Corps. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students tool Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. 1924 started a study of a merger with Western Reserve. In 1926, a joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible. As to Case's own objectives, Prof. Fred H. Vose, head of Mechanical Engineering, wrote a one-man opinion that the chief aim of engineering education should be to train students so that they could think clearly, plan and contrive, visualize and conceive. "A brain crowded with facts, but not trained to apply them with understanding and discretion, is a dangerous thing to have at large." He believed in breadth, to include English, history, economics, and business. His disapproval of too much specialization in a four-year course was backed by his citation of Case graduates who held high places in automotive, marine and power engineering, among others, despite their lack of specialized training in those fields. At that time more than 2,500 graduates were as widely dispersed vocationally as they were geographically. Department of Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. . 1909 First degree in Chemical Engin 1915 First BS in Chem Eng 1922 First MS in Chem Eng Physics DepartmentDr. Charles Howe, the second president of Case, approaches John D. Rockefeller for funds for a new Physics Building and a Mining and Metallurgy Building. The money is appropriated and construction of the new Physics Building begins. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory is constructed by the Austin Company and completed and occupied in 1906. In 1910, the first B.S. in Physics was awarded to E.G. Clark.In 1916, the United States Weather Bureau installed a weather station with a complete set of meteorological instrumentshe on the roof of the Physics laboratory with a complete outfit of meteorological instruments. Dr. W.H. Alexander, official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to students. In 1920, the new Warner and Swasey Observatory was opened. The observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. The dedication of the Warner and Swasey Observatory meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory", which functioned between 1897-1920. By 1922, John R. Martin was teaching a course in Theory of Radio Communication and by 1925, the Physics department installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. 1922 Dr. Christian Nusbaum offers X-Ray and Crystal Structures courses (Physics) 1917 Dr. Dayton Miller (Physics) aiding US Government in WWI research on sound and shell shock Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy.

By 1927 "Metallurgy library reorganized and enlarged (1857 bound volumes, 1600 pamphlets and 17 periodicals)" 1921 Metallurgical and Mining Engineering; Last designated M.S. degrees in metallurgy were granted Mechanical Engineering DepartmentThere were several staff turnovers around 1900. Prof. Benjamin became supervising engineer of the city of Cleveland in 1900 but continued on the staff. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1901. and Mr. Mills and Mr. Wood joined the faculty in 1902. The growing demand for trained engineers to fulfill industrial needs necessitated course expansion and additions to the staff.In 1903, the department opened a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings was added. The lab was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room was equiped with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. The drawing lab on the 2nd floor moved and was replaced by the pattern making space, while the main floor was devoted to machine work exclusive. The Mechanical Enginerin laboratory building was shared by Mechanical Engineering and Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, and then it was used by the Mechanical Enginerring Department only until 1927. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power and in 1906, the department accepted a donation from the Artic Ice Machine Company of a five ton refrigerating plant, in addition of several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor. Gifts from local firms in the way of equipment helped immeasurably in the expansion program. Cleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The demand was greater than the supply, and industry became aware, even at that early date, of the need for cooperation. Both curricula and staff grew at a rapid pace. In 1907, after Prof. Benjamin resignation, Dr. Fernald became head of the department. In 1908 the buildings of the department consisted of the Mechanical Laboratory, the Power Laboratory and a boiler house. The boiler house, approximately 42 x 90 feet and the power laboratory with a floor space of 10,000 square feet, contained the principal apparatus and equipment of the engine laboratory; the oil testing machines and dynamometers were set up in the shop adjoining the laboratory proper. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. New additions of a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill were done in 1909, In 1918 a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer was added to the equipment of the drafting room. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1912 and Professor F.H. Vose became Acting Head in 1912-13 and Head of the Department in 1913-14. The staff numbered seven. From 1912 - 1917 there were no marked changes in staff or curricula. After the war, the growth of the Department of Mechanical Engineering was rapid. In 1920 the courses included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. Courses were taught by six teaching staff In 1920 there were six men in the teaching staff of the department but the increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. As there was a concentrated drive among the Case alumni, Mr. Bingham's son gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The Charles W. Bingham Mechanical Engineering Building became a reality in 1927, and the Old Mechanical Engineering Building quickly vanished from the campus after serving fairly well for thirty-five years. In addition to offices, lecture rooms, drawing rooms, library, etc. the Power Plant, Machine Shop, Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory were spacious, and equipped with up-to-the minute equipment in addition to allowing for expansion. The students had available what they had previously had to observe at the various industrial plants on their plant visits. The new space and equipment also allowed for curricula expansion. Electrical Engineering DepartmentIn 1901, courses of the department included Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory ( 2 afternoons a week for juniors), Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways.Courses expanded to meet the demands of the time. 1903 Inspection trips to various electrical industries of Cleveland and neighboring citiesstarted and continued for many years. Inspection trip reports were required 1908 Electrical Engineering Club formed by Junior and Senior Students, meetings were held once each week. Most of Electrical Students were affiliated with the Armerican Institute of Electrical Engineering, Cleveland Section. Papers and Lectures were given to the group by outstanding E.E Engingers. 1915 Electrical Engineering: "Staff was raised to five men including two professors and three instructors. By 1916 the seniors in Electrical Engineering were taking a semester's study of Science and the Art of Illumination., largely given by lecturers from the General Electric Company., the Welsbach Company and; other experts. 1921 Equipment increased and includes a,omg others a small automatic telephone exchange, a wireless receiving set and other apparatus for wireless telegraphy and telephony. Departmental library expanded to include several hundred volumes on electrical engineering subjects. There were many periodicals, bound for reference" 1925 "first MS. to T .D. Owens. and 2nd M.S to John Martin in 1926 the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wyne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927 the inspection trips took the juniors to Ningara Falls, the General. Electric Company at Schnectady and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C .. " |

Prof. Benjamin became supervising engineer of the city of Cleveland in 1900 but continued on the staff. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1901. and Mr. Mills and Mr. Wood joined the faculty in 1902. The growing demand for trained engineers to fulfill industrial needs necessitated course expansion and additions to the staff.In 1903, the department opened a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings was added. The lab was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room was equiped with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. The drawing lab on the 2nd floor moved and was replaced by the pattern making space, while the main floor was devoted to machine work exclusive. The Mechanical Enginerin laboratory building was shared by Mechanical Engineering and Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, and then it was used by the Mechanical Enginerring Department only until 1927. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power and in 1906, the department accepted a donation from the Artic Ice Machine Company of a five ton refrigerating plant, in addition of several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor. Gifts from local firms in the way of equipment helped immeasurably in the expansion program. Cleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The demand was greater than the supply, and industry became aware, even at that early date, of the need for cooperation. Both curricula and staff grew at a rapid pace. In 1907, after Prof. Benjamin resignation, Dr. Fernald became head of the department. In 1908 the buildings of the department consisted of the Mechanical Laboratory, the Power Laboratory and a boiler house. The boiler house, approximately 42 x 90 feet and the power laboratory with a floor space of 10,000 square feet, contained the principal apparatus and equipment of the engine laboratory; the oil testing machines and dynamometers were set up in the shop adjoining the laboratory proper. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. New additions of a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill were done in 1909, In 1918 a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer was added to the equipment of the drafting room. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1912 and Professor F.H. Vose became Acting Head in 1912-13 and Head of the Department in 1913-14. The staff numbered seven. From 1912 - 1917 there were no marked changes in staff or curricula. After the war, the growth of the Department of Mechanical Engineering was rapid. In 1920 the courses included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. Courses were taught by six teaching staff In 1920 there were six men in the teaching staff of the department but the increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. As there was a concentrated drive among the Case alumni, Mr. Bingham's son gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The Charles W. Bingham Mechanical Engineering Building became a reality in 1927, and the Old Mechanical Engineering Building quickly vanished from the campus after serving fairly well for thirty-five years. In addition to offices, lecture rooms, drawing rooms, library, etc. the Power Plant, Machine Shop, Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory were spacious, and equipped with up-to-the minute equipment in addition to allowing for expansion. The students had available what they had previously had to observe at the various industrial plants on their plant visits. The new space and equipment also allowed for curricula expansion. Electrical Engineering DepartmentIn 1901, courses of the department included Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory ( 2 afternoons a week for juniors), Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways.Courses expanded to meet the demands of the time. 1903 Inspection trips to various electrical industries of Cleveland and neighboring citiesstarted and continued for many years. Inspection trip reports were required 1908 Electrical Engineering Club formed by Junior and Senior Students, meetings were held once each week. Most of Electrical Students were affiliated with the Armerican Institute of Electrical Engineering, Cleveland Section. Papers and Lectures were given to the group by outstanding E.E Engingers. 1915 Electrical Engineering: "Staff was raised to five men including two professors and three instructors. By 1916 the seniors in Electrical Engineering were taking a semester's study of Science and the Art of Illumination., largely given by lecturers from the General Electric Company., the Welsbach Company and; other experts. 1921 Equipment increased and includes a,omg others a small automatic telephone exchange, a wireless receiving set and other apparatus for wireless telegraphy and telephony. Departmental library expanded to include several hundred volumes on electrical engineering subjects. There were many periodicals, bound for reference" 1925 "first MS. to T .D. Owens. and 2nd M.S to John Martin in 1926 the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wyne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927 the inspection trips took the juniors to Ningara Falls, the General. Electric Company at Schnectady and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C .. " |

At that time more than 2,500 graduates were as widely dispersed vocationally as they were geographically. Department of Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. . 1909 First degree in Chemical Engin 1915 First BS in Chem Eng 1922 First MS in Chem Eng Physics DepartmentDr. Charles Howe, the second president of Case, approaches John D. Rockefeller for funds for a new Physics Building and a Mining and Metallurgy Building. The money is appropriated and construction of the new Physics Building begins. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory is constructed by the Austin Company and completed and occupied in 1906. In 1910, the first B.S. in Physics was awarded to E.G. Clark.In 1916, the United States Weather Bureau installed a weather station with a complete set of meteorological instrumentshe on the roof of the Physics laboratory with a complete outfit of meteorological instruments. Dr. W.H. Alexander, official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to students. In 1920, the new Warner and Swasey Observatory was opened. The observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. The dedication of the Warner and Swasey Observatory meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory", which functioned between 1897-1920. By 1922, John R. Martin was teaching a course in Theory of Radio Communication and by 1925, the Physics department installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. 1922 Dr. Christian Nusbaum offers X-Ray and Crystal Structures courses (Physics) 1917 Dr. Dayton Miller (Physics) aiding US Government in WWI research on sound and shell shock Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. Civil Engineering DepartmentAfter Staley resignation in 1902, Prof. Neff becomes head of the departments and continues as head until 1931.In 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. The catalogue of 1904-05 says that the large grounds of the college campus, of Wade Park, and of Rockefeller Boulevard, both of the latter adjoining the campus, constitute a field admirably adapted to the work of teaching surveying as far as convenience is concerned, while the natural features of the ground furnish in great variety the open field for chain surveying - the hill, valley and brook for topographical surveying and long arched culverts for mining surveying." In 1907, the Department of Civil Engineering occupies twelve rooms in the Main building. Besides recitation rooms, there are drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contains 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. The instrument room contains a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' In 1907, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp known as Case Camp. The location of the Camp moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. The first M.S. in civil engineering was awareded to S.B. Folk in 1923. By 1929, the importance of railroad engineering reduced and more emphasis was given to the highway engineering and the mechanics of structures. Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringFirst degsignated B.S. in mining in 19031903 Department of Geology and Mineralogy becomes a seperate department with Dr. Frank Van Horn as head, 1904 Dr. Charles D. Howe, president of Case, approaches Mr. John D. Rockefeller Sr. and recieves a large gift to build the Rockefeller Physics In 1905, the department moved to its own building, the Rockefeller Laboratory for Mining and Metallurgy, In 1907 Mining & Metallurgical Engineering; in 1908, Curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into seperate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer) 1910 First B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering awarded 1911 Courses in Mining and Metallurgy offered were: Topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. Dr. Charles Fulton (Mining and Metallurgy) joins the department and becomes department head 1912 First degrees of Metallurgical Engineer (M.E.) are awarded to R.R. Abbott and M.A. Ammon 1918 The library of the Mining and Metallurgy Department contains 1130 bound volumes, 1170 pamphlets, and 34 periodicals. By 1927 "Metallurgy library reorganized and enlarged (1857 bound volumes, 1600 pamphlets and 17 periodicals)" 1921 Metallurgical and Mining Engineering; Last designated M.S. degrees in metallurgy were granted Mechanical Engineering DepartmentThere were several staff turnovers around 1900. Prof. Benjamin became supervising engineer of the city of Cleveland in 1900 but continued on the staff. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1901. and Mr. Mills and Mr. Wood joined the faculty in 1902. The growing demand for trained engineers to fulfill industrial needs necessitated course expansion and additions to the staff.In 1903, the department opened a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings was added. The lab was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room was equiped with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. The drawing lab on the 2nd floor moved and was replaced by the pattern making space, while the main floor was devoted to machine work exclusive. The Mechanical Enginerin laboratory building was shared by Mechanical Engineering and Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, and then it was used by the Mechanical Enginerring Department only until 1927. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power and in 1906, the department accepted a donation from the Artic Ice Machine Company of a five ton refrigerating plant, in addition of several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor. Gifts from local firms in the way of equipment helped immeasurably in the expansion program. Cleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The demand was greater than the supply, and industry became aware, even at that early date, of the need for cooperation. Both curricula and staff grew at a rapid pace. In 1907, after Prof. Benjamin resignation, Dr. Fernald became head of the department. In 1908 the buildings of the department consisted of the Mechanical Laboratory, the Power Laboratory and a boiler house. The boiler house, approximately 42 x 90 feet and the power laboratory with a floor space of 10,000 square feet, contained the principal apparatus and equipment of the engine laboratory; the oil testing machines and dynamometers were set up in the shop adjoining the laboratory proper. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. New additions of a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill were done in 1909, In 1918 a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer was added to the equipment of the drafting room. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1912 and Professor F.H. Vose became Acting Head in 1912-13 and Head of the Department in 1913-14. The staff numbered seven. From 1912 - 1917 there were no marked changes in staff or curricula. After the war, the growth of the Department of Mechanical Engineering was rapid. In 1920 the courses included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. Courses were taught by six teaching staff In 1920 there were six men in the teaching staff of the department but the increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. As there was a concentrated drive among the Case alumni, Mr. Bingham's son gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The Charles W. Bingham Mechanical Engineering Building became a reality in 1927, and the Old Mechanical Engineering Building quickly vanished from the campus after serving fairly well for thirty-five years. In addition to offices, lecture rooms, drawing rooms, library, etc. the Power Plant, Machine Shop, Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory were spacious, and equipped with up-to-the minute equipment in addition to allowing for expansion. The students had available what they had previously had to observe at the various industrial plants on their plant visits. The new space and equipment also allowed for curricula expansion. Electrical Engineering DepartmentIn 1901, courses of the department included Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory ( 2 afternoons a week for juniors), Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways.Courses expanded to meet the demands of the time. 1903 Inspection trips to various electrical industries of Cleveland and neighboring citiesstarted and continued for many years. Inspection trip reports were required 1908 Electrical Engineering Club formed by Junior and Senior Students, meetings were held once each week. Most of Electrical Students were affiliated with the Armerican Institute of Electrical Engineering, Cleveland Section. Papers and Lectures were given to the group by outstanding E.E Engingers. 1915 Electrical Engineering: "Staff was raised to five men including two professors and three instructors. By 1916 the seniors in Electrical Engineering were taking a semester's study of Science and the Art of Illumination., largely given by lecturers from the General Electric Company., the Welsbach Company and; other experts. 1921 Equipment increased and includes a,omg others a small automatic telephone exchange, a wireless receiving set and other apparatus for wireless telegraphy and telephony. Departmental library expanded to include several hundred volumes on electrical engineering subjects. There were many periodicals, bound for reference" 1925 "first MS. to T .D. Owens. and 2nd M.S to John Martin in 1926 the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wyne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927 the inspection trips took the juniors to Ningara Falls, the General. Electric Company at Schnectady and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C .. " |

Miller from the Physics department who in 1895 took first full-length x ray photographs of the human body. By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students from which 178 were mechnanical engineers. The end of the WW I - Undergraduate enrollment decreases 1918 On October 1, 1918 US Army took authority over the CSAS students and established the Student Army Training Corps. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students tool Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. 1924 started a study of a merger with Western Reserve. In 1926, a joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible. As to Case's own objectives, Prof. Fred H. Vose, head of Mechanical Engineering, wrote a one-man opinion that the chief aim of engineering education should be to train students so that they could think clearly, plan and contrive, visualize and conceive. "A brain crowded with facts, but not trained to apply them with understanding and discretion, is a dangerous thing to have at large." He believed in breadth, to include English, history, economics, and business.

Dr. Charles Fulton (Mining and Metallurgy) joins the department and becomes department head 1912 First degrees of Metallurgical Engineer (M.E.) are awarded to R.R. Abbott and M.A. Ammon 1918 The library of the Mining and Metallurgy Department contains 1130 bound volumes, 1170 pamphlets, and 34 periodicals. By 1927 "Metallurgy library reorganized and enlarged (1857 bound volumes, 1600 pamphlets and 17 periodicals)" 1921 Metallurgical and Mining Engineering; Last designated M.S. degrees in metallurgy were granted Mechanical Engineering DepartmentThere were several staff turnovers around 1900. Prof. Benjamin became supervising engineer of the city of Cleveland in 1900 but continued on the staff. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1901. and Mr. Mills and Mr. Wood joined the faculty in 1902. The growing demand for trained engineers to fulfill industrial needs necessitated course expansion and additions to the staff.In 1903, the department opened a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings was added. The lab was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room was equiped with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. The drawing lab on the 2nd floor moved and was replaced by the pattern making space, while the main floor was devoted to machine work exclusive. The Mechanical Enginerin laboratory building was shared by Mechanical Engineering and Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, and then it was used by the Mechanical Enginerring Department only until 1927. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power and in 1906, the department accepted a donation from the Artic Ice Machine Company of a five ton refrigerating plant, in addition of several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor. Gifts from local firms in the way of equipment helped immeasurably in the expansion program. Cleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The demand was greater than the supply, and industry became aware, even at that early date, of the need for cooperation. Both curricula and staff grew at a rapid pace. In 1907, after Prof. Benjamin resignation, Dr. Fernald became head of the department. In 1908 the buildings of the department consisted of the Mechanical Laboratory, the Power Laboratory and a boiler house. The boiler house, approximately 42 x 90 feet and the power laboratory with a floor space of 10,000 square feet, contained the principal apparatus and equipment of the engine laboratory; the oil testing machines and dynamometers were set up in the shop adjoining the laboratory proper. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. New additions of a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill were done in 1909, In 1918 a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer was added to the equipment of the drafting room. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1912 and Professor F.H. Vose became Acting Head in 1912-13 and Head of the Department in 1913-14. The staff numbered seven. From 1912 - 1917 there were no marked changes in staff or curricula. After the war, the growth of the Department of Mechanical Engineering was rapid. In 1920 the courses included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. Courses were taught by six teaching staff In 1920 there were six men in the teaching staff of the department but the increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. As there was a concentrated drive among the Case alumni, Mr. Bingham's son gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The Charles W. Bingham Mechanical Engineering Building became a reality in 1927, and the Old Mechanical Engineering Building quickly vanished from the campus after serving fairly well for thirty-five years. In addition to offices, lecture rooms, drawing rooms, library, etc. the Power Plant, Machine Shop, Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory were spacious, and equipped with up-to-the minute equipment in addition to allowing for expansion. The students had available what they had previously had to observe at the various industrial plants on their plant visits. The new space and equipment also allowed for curricula expansion. Electrical Engineering DepartmentIn 1901, courses of the department included Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory ( 2 afternoons a week for juniors), Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways.Courses expanded to meet the demands of the time. 1903 Inspection trips to various electrical industries of Cleveland and neighboring citiesstarted and continued for many years. Inspection trip reports were required 1908 Electrical Engineering Club formed by Junior and Senior Students, meetings were held once each week. Most of Electrical Students were affiliated with the Armerican Institute of Electrical Engineering, Cleveland Section. Papers and Lectures were given to the group by outstanding E.E Engingers. 1915 Electrical Engineering: "Staff was raised to five men including two professors and three instructors. By 1916 the seniors in Electrical Engineering were taking a semester's study of Science and the Art of Illumination., largely given by lecturers from the General Electric Company., the Welsbach Company and; other experts. 1921 Equipment increased and includes a,omg others a small automatic telephone exchange, a wireless receiving set and other apparatus for wireless telegraphy and telephony. Departmental library expanded to include several hundred volumes on electrical engineering subjects. There were many periodicals, bound for reference" 1925 "first MS. to T .D. Owens. and 2nd M.S to John Martin in 1926 the inspection trips took the juniors to Fort Wyne, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1927 the inspection trips took the juniors to Ningara Falls, the General. Electric Company at Schnectady and Pittsfield, Massachusetts and to New York City and Washington D.C .. " |

| content | sioc:content | Case attracted bold scientists and engineers like Professor Harry Fielding Reid traveled to Alaska in 1890 to explore and map Glacier Bay or like Professor Dayton C. Miller from the Physics department who in 1895 took first full-length x ray photographs of the human body. By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students from which 178 were mechnanical engineers. The end of the WW I - Undergraduate enrollment decreases 1918 On October 1, 1918 US Army took authority over the CSAS students and established the Student Army Training Corps. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students tool Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. 1924 started a study of a merger with Western Reserve. In 1926, a joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible. As to Case's own objectives, Prof. Fred H. Vose, head of Mechanical Engineering, wrote a one-man opinion that the chief aim of engineering education should be to train students so that they could think clearly, plan and contrive, visualize and conceive. "A brain crowded with facts, but not trained to apply them with understanding and discretion, is a dangerous thing to have at large." He believed in breadth, to include English, history, economics, and business. His disapproval of too much specialization in a four-year course was backed by his citation of Case graduates who held high places in automotive, marine and power engineering, among others, despite their lack of specialized training in those fields. At that time more than 2,500 graduates were as widely dispersed vocationally as they were geographically. Department of Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. . 1909 First degree in Chemical Engin 1915 First BS in Chem Eng 1922 First MS in Chem Eng Physics DepartmentDr. Charles Howe, the second president of Case, approaches John D. Rockefeller for funds for a new Physics Building and a Mining and Metallurgy Building. The money is appropriated and construction of the new Physics Building begins. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory is constructed by the Austin Company and completed and occupied in 1906. In 1910, the first B.S. in Physics was awarded to E.G. Clark.In 1916, the United States Weather Bureau installed a weather station with a complete set of meteorological instrumentshe on the roof of the Physics laboratory with a complete outfit of meteorological instruments. Dr. W.H. Alexander, official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to students. In 1920, the new Warner and Swasey Observatory was opened. The observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. The dedication of the Warner and Swasey Observatory meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory", which functioned between 1897-1920. By 1922, John R. Martin was teaching a course in Theory of Radio Communication and by 1925, the Physics department installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. 1922 Dr. Christian Nusbaum offers X-Ray and Crystal Structures courses (Physics) 1917 Dr. Dayton Miller (Physics) aiding US Government in WWI research on sound and shell shock Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. Civil Engineering DepartmentAfter Staley resignation in 1902, Prof. Neff becomes head of the departments and continues as head until 1931.In 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. The catalogue of 1904-05 says that the large grounds of the college campus, of Wade Park, and of Rockefeller Boulevard, both of the latter adjoining the campus, constitute a field admirably adapted to the work of teaching surveying as far as convenience is concerned, while the natural features of the ground furnish in great variety the open field for chain surveying - the hill, valley and brook for topographical surveying and long arched culverts for mining surveying." In 1907, the Department of Civil Engineering occupies twelve rooms in the Main building. Besides recitation rooms, there are drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contains 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. The instrument room contains a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' In 1907, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp known as Case Camp. The location of the Camp moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. The first M.S. in civil engineering was awareded to S.B. Folk in 1923. By 1929, the importance of railroad engineering reduced and more emphasis was given to the highway engineering and the mechanics of structures. Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringFirst degsignated B.S. in mining in 19031903 Department of Geology and Mineralogy becomes a seperate department with Dr. Frank Van Horn as head, 1904 Dr. Charles D. Howe, president of Case, approaches Mr. John D.

Electrical Engineering DepartmentIn 1901, courses of the department included Applied Electricity, Electro-Chemistry and Metallurrgy, Electrical Laboratory ( 2 afternoons a week for juniors), Applied Electricity, Analytical and Graphic Treatment of the Theory of Alternating Currrents, Dynamo and Motor Design, The Operation, Construction and Installation of Alternating Current Machinery, and Power Distribution and Electric Railways.Courses expanded to meet the demands of the time. 1903 Inspection trips to various electrical industries of Cleveland and neighboring citiesstarted and continued for many years. Inspection trip reports were required 1908 Electrical Engineering Club formed by Junior and Senior Students, meetings were held once each week. Most of Electrical Students were affiliated with the Armerican Institute of Electrical Engineering, Cleveland Section. Papers and Lectures were given to the group by outstanding E.E Engingers. 1915 Electrical Engineering: "Staff was raised to five men including two professors and three instructors.

Miller from the Physics department who in 1895 took first full-length x ray photographs of the human body. By 1906, CSAS graduated a total of 530 students from which 178 were mechnanical engineers. The end of the WW I - Undergraduate enrollment decreases 1918 On October 1, 1918 US Army took authority over the CSAS students and established the Student Army Training Corps. A Department of Military Science and Tactics was established and all students tool Military Drills and Engineering for 5 hours per week. The undergraduate curriculum was organized as eight terms of 12 weeks each and organized into five engineering departments: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, and Chemical. In the spring of 1919, the Reserve Officers' Corps was organized as an Infantry Unit for the academic year. Classes returned to the way they were before the war in 1921. Prof. Theodore M. Focke '92 became Case's first dean. 1924 started a study of a merger with Western Reserve. In 1926, a joint statement from the two institutions reported that such a merger would be impossible. As to Case's own objectives, Prof. Fred H. Vose, head of Mechanical Engineering, wrote a one-man opinion that the chief aim of engineering education should be to train students so that they could think clearly, plan and contrive, visualize and conceive. "A brain crowded with facts, but not trained to apply them with understanding and discretion, is a dangerous thing to have at large." He believed in breadth, to include English, history, economics, and business. His disapproval of too much specialization in a four-year course was backed by his citation of Case graduates who held high places in automotive, marine and power engineering, among others, despite their lack of specialized training in those fields. At that time more than 2,500 graduates were as widely dispersed vocationally as they were geographically. Department of Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringIn 1904, chemical engineering appeared as an emphasis and the department changed its name to Department of Chemistry including Engineering Chemistry. In 1907, the department change its name again to become Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. However, the granting of separate degree did not start until 1926.In 1911, there were thirty-two sophomores, juniors and seniors declared as chemistry majors and by 1915, the number of undergraduate chemistry majors increased to forty-nine. . 1909 First degree in Chemical Engin 1915 First BS in Chem Eng 1922 First MS in Chem Eng Physics DepartmentDr. Charles Howe, the second president of Case, approaches John D. Rockefeller for funds for a new Physics Building and a Mining and Metallurgy Building. The money is appropriated and construction of the new Physics Building begins. The Rockefeller Physics laboratory is constructed by the Austin Company and completed and occupied in 1906. In 1910, the first B.S. in Physics was awarded to E.G. Clark.In 1916, the United States Weather Bureau installed a weather station with a complete set of meteorological instrumentshe on the roof of the Physics laboratory with a complete outfit of meteorological instruments. Dr. W.H. Alexander, official in charge of the Cleveland U.S. Weather Bureau station, gave lectures to students. In 1920, the new Warner and Swasey Observatory was opened. The observatory was located on a hill at Brunswick Circle, East Cleveland. The dedication of the Warner and Swasey Observatory meant the closing of the small observatory located on campus, also nicknamed the "tin can observatory", which functioned between 1897-1920. By 1922, John R. Martin was teaching a course in Theory of Radio Communication and by 1925, the Physics department installed a radio receiving station with the most up-to-date equipment available at that time. 1922 Dr. Christian Nusbaum offers X-Ray and Crystal Structures courses (Physics) 1917 Dr. Dayton Miller (Physics) aiding US Government in WWI research on sound and shell shock Department of Mathematics and AstronomyIn 1902, Prof. Howe became the second president of Case School of Applied Science and many of his Math Department duties were turned over to Dr. Focke, who became the fourth Kerr Professor and remained so until 1944.By 1918 there were eight faculty and instructors in mathematics and astronomy. Civil Engineering DepartmentAfter Staley resignation in 1902, Prof. Neff becomes head of the departments and continues as head until 1931.In 1904, the department offered course in railroad engineering, along with highway engineering, roads and bridges and details of construction. The catalogue of 1904-05 says that the large grounds of the college campus, of Wade Park, and of Rockefeller Boulevard, both of the latter adjoining the campus, constitute a field admirably adapted to the work of teaching surveying as far as convenience is concerned, while the natural features of the ground furnish in great variety the open field for chain surveying - the hill, valley and brook for topographical surveying and long arched culverts for mining surveying." In 1907, the Department of Civil Engineering occupies twelve rooms in the Main building. Besides recitation rooms, there are drafting rooms, library and reading rooms, cement and concrete laboratories, and offices. The library contains 1000 volumes, 2200 indexed pamphlets and 7000 prints and photographs. The instrument room contains a precise level of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Model, a 100-foot standard bar for comparison of tapes, 20 complete engineer's transits, 12 engineer's shovels, chains, level and sight rods of all types, and many cases of structural models and materials.'' In 1907, the department established the first off-campus Surveying Camp known as Case Camp. The location of the Camp moved every other year or so, until 1918 when it moved to Waynersburg and remained there until 1938. The first M.S. in civil engineering was awareded to S.B. Folk in 1923. By 1929, the importance of railroad engineering reduced and more emphasis was given to the highway engineering and the mechanics of structures. Metallurgical and Mining EngineeringFirst degsignated B.S. in mining in 19031903 Department of Geology and Mineralogy becomes a seperate department with Dr. Frank Van Horn as head, 1904 Dr. Charles D. Howe, president of Case, approaches Mr. John D. Rockefeller Sr. and recieves a large gift to build the Rockefeller Physics In 1905, the department moved to its own building, the Rockefeller Laboratory for Mining and Metallurgy, In 1907 Mining & Metallurgical Engineering; in 1908, Curriculum splits mining engineering and metallurgical engineering into seperate programs (Engineer of Mines and Metallurgical Engineer) 1910 First B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering awarded 1911 Courses in Mining and Metallurgy offered were: Topographical mapping, mining and metallurgy machinery, drawing and mine surveying, metallurgy and electric smelting, metal refining and gas analysis for engineers, ore treatment, mining law, mining engineering, metallography, metallurgical analysis, ore and rock analysis, and ore mill and metallurgical plant design. Dr. Charles Fulton (Mining and Metallurgy) joins the department and becomes department head 1912 First degrees of Metallurgical Engineer (M.E.) are awarded to R.R. Abbott and M.A. Ammon 1918 The library of the Mining and Metallurgy Department contains 1130 bound volumes, 1170 pamphlets, and 34 periodicals. By 1927 "Metallurgy library reorganized and enlarged (1857 bound volumes, 1600 pamphlets and 17 periodicals)" 1921 Metallurgical and Mining Engineering; Last designated M.S. degrees in metallurgy were granted Mechanical Engineering DepartmentThere were several staff turnovers around 1900. Prof. Benjamin became supervising engineer of the city of Cleveland in 1900 but continued on the staff. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1901. and Mr. Mills and Mr. Wood joined the faculty in 1902. The growing demand for trained engineers to fulfill industrial needs necessitated course expansion and additions to the staff.In 1903, the department opened a 10,000 square foot power plant laboratory with enough capacity to heat multiple buildings was added. The lab was equipped with an air compressor, the Westighouse gas engine, the De Laval steam turbine, new condenser, the boiler room was equiped with 125 horsepower Babcock & Wilcox boiler, new feed pump, and heater. The drawing lab on the 2nd floor moved and was replaced by the pattern making space, while the main floor was devoted to machine work exclusive. The Mechanical Enginerin laboratory building was shared by Mechanical Engineering and Mining Engineering Departments until 1905, and then it was used by the Mechanical Enginerring Department only until 1927. In 1905, the department installed a new engine for lighting and power and in 1906, the department accepted a donation from the Artic Ice Machine Company of a five ton refrigerating plant, in addition of several automobile engines and the automobile testing floor. Gifts from local firms in the way of equipment helped immeasurably in the expansion program. Cleveland was fast becoming a center of the machine tool field and the need for professionally trained men increased rapidly. The demand was greater than the supply, and industry became aware, even at that early date, of the need for cooperation. Both curricula and staff grew at a rapid pace. In 1907, after Prof. Benjamin resignation, Dr. Fernald became head of the department. In 1908 the buildings of the department consisted of the Mechanical Laboratory, the Power Laboratory and a boiler house. The boiler house, approximately 42 x 90 feet and the power laboratory with a floor space of 10,000 square feet, contained the principal apparatus and equipment of the engine laboratory; the oil testing machines and dynamometers were set up in the shop adjoining the laboratory proper. The shop was equipped with the latest machinery of the time. New additions of a Lucas horizontal boring machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal Milling machine, Brown & Sharpe Universal grinder, Pratt and Whitney tool room lathe, Potter and Johnson shaper and an Allen drill were done in 1909, In 1918 a Wagenhorst Electric Blue Printer was added to the equipment of the drafting room. Dr. Fernald resigned in 1912 and Professor F.H. Vose became Acting Head in 1912-13 and Head of the Department in 1913-14. The staff numbered seven. From 1912 - 1917 there were no marked changes in staff or curricula. After the war, the growth of the Department of Mechanical Engineering was rapid. In 1920 the courses included: Pattern Making and Foundry Practice; Machine Shop Practice; Machine Detail Drawing, Thermodynamics of Gases and Vapors; Heat Engines; Machine Design; Power Plant Engineering; Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration; Heat Power Engineering, and Engineering Contracts and Specifications. Courses were taught by six teaching staff In 1920 there were six men in the teaching staff of the department but the increased enrollment in the department required larger and more modern spaces available. In 1925, Mr. Charles W. Bingham, a trustee, offered President Howe $500,000 toward the erection of a new laboratory for Mechanical Engineering. As there was a concentrated drive among the Case alumni, Mr. Bingham's son gave another $500,000 to endow and maintain the new building. The Charles W. Bingham Mechanical Engineering Building became a reality in 1927, and the Old Mechanical Engineering Building quickly vanished from the campus after serving fairly well for thirty-five years. In addition to offices, lecture rooms, drawing rooms, library, etc. the Power Plant, Machine Shop, Foundry and Heat Treating Laboratory were spacious, and equipped with up-to-the minute equipment in addition to allowing for expansion. The students had available what they had previously had to observe at the various industrial plants on their plant visits. The new space and equipment also allowed for curricula expansion.
