  John Stockwell, a local astronomer and friend of Case, was appointed as instructor of mathematics and astronomy and tasked to define the courses of instruction and to find faculty.
  
  The School opened with five faculty and sixteen students. Stockwell decided on a four-year course, where the first two years would consist of training in mathematics, chemistry, physics, civil engineering and drawing, and modern languages, and the last two years of study would provide specialized training in one of the sciences or civil engineering, culminating with a thesis.
  
  Students were admitted if they passes an examination in algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, English, and German. The $100 tuition was reduced to $50 in the second year when the School also started authorizing twelve tuition scholarships for students in, or graduates of, Cleveland high schools.

Restricted by the lack of operating funds, in January 1881 the Board limited the initial preparatory instruction to Mathematics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Drawing, and French and German languages, with a course in Physics instituted whenever the progress of the class rendered such instruction advisable.
  
  
  They appointed John N. Stockwell as Instructor in Mathematics starting January 1, 1881, and authorized him to select suitable rooms in the Case Homestead and to make preparations as may be necessary for the reception of students on the first Monday of April 1881.  The Board also appointed Arthur F. Taylor as Instructor of Chemistry for one year from July 1, 1881.
  
  Case School of Applied Science opened on September 15, 1881.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The Case trustees approved the seal at their November 7, 1882 meeting. This seal features a rising sun similar to the one on the seal of the State of Ohio. "1880" is the year that the Case School of Applied Science was established, and "Cleveland, O." was the school’s location. The seal was changed in 1925.
