The postwar years brought tremendous changes to Case School, starting with a new name and a new president. Over the next twenty years, the School culture changed to a research-oriented school. This change was supported through curricular changes and experimentation, increased faculty and student numbers, the addition of new academic facilities and updating the existing ones, and increased funding for research. As a result, Case Institute of Technology transformed into a nationally recognized engineering school.
Thomas Keith Glennan, the new CIT president appointed in 1947, provided the vision and the leadership needed for the sustained extended campus development and expansion and the consolidation of the Case School's position as a top engineering school in the US. Glennan’s presidency was a strong supporter of the Federation with Western Reserve University and implemented the collaborative measures that ultimately led to the Federation in 1967. After President Glennan's term ended in 1966, the efforts for a successful Federation were continued by President Robert Morse, the first Case Western Reserve University President.
