Case Main
Case Main was designed by Prof. Eisenmann. The three stories building included a full basement and a huge attic. At the time, the first two floors were available for classrooms while the top two floors were still under construction. The basement was used as lab space. The attic was later used as gymnasium.
In 1885, five of the first students graduate from Case School of Applied Sciences with degrees in engineering. These five graduates are the founders of the Case Alumni Association. In 1886, Case Alumni Association was formalized, with first president Daniel R Warmington ('85), Morris S. Towson ('86) as vice-president, William E. Saunders ('86) as secretary, and Edgar E. Stark ('86) as treasurer. Case Alumni Association voted its Constitution and badge in 1887.
During the 1885/1886 school year, there were a total of fifty-one students enrolled: twenty-five freshmen, ten sophomores, five juniors, nine seniors, and two special students. The first graduates with chemistry degrees were P.L. Hobbs and H.L. Payne in 1886.
Cady Staley joined Case School of Applied Science as its first President in 1886. At that time, the School had four Courses of Study (tracks): Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Mathematics and Astronomy, and Physics.
With a new building, the school was looking forward to expand even more.
