CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITYUNIVERSITY PROFILE FOR
Impact of CWRU Research
Over the years, researchers at America’s major universities havemade many significant contributions to society. Following is a list of someof the contributions made by faculty, staff, and students at Case WesternReserve University. It should be emphasized that this list is hardly all-inclusive.
Discovered that the earth’s motion had no effect on the movement oflight, disproving the belief that the earth floated in a sea of ether.This discovery marks the beginning of modern physics, and isassociated with Einstein’s later work on relativity (Professors Albert A.Michelson and Edward W. Morley, 1887).
Discovered the atomic weight of oxygen, which is the basis forcalculating the weights of all other elements (Professor Morley, 1895).
Performed the first full X-ray of the human body – on himself(Professor Dayton C. Miller, 1896).
Performed the first modern blood transfusion using a canula, orcoupling device, to connect blood vessels (Dr. George W. Crile, 1905).
Pioneered chlorination of drinking water to eradicate the source oftyphoid bacilli (Dr. Roger G. Perkins, 1912).
Developed simulated milk formula for infants (Dr. Henry J.Gerstenberger, 1915).
Performed the first surgical treatment of coronary artery disease (Dr.Claude S. Beck, 1935).
Developed the first heart-lung machine to be used during open heartsurgery (Dr. Frederick S. Cross, 1950s).
Performed the first successful life-saving defibrillation of the humanheart (Dr. Beck, 1947) and developed the method of CardiopulmonaryResuscitation (CPR) (Dr. Beck, 1952).
Developed a test for infants that has made it possible to identifymental retardation within a year after birth (Professor Joseph F.Fagan, 1987).
Created the first artificial human chromosomes, opening the door tomore detailed study of human genetics and potentially offering a newapproach to gene therapy and the treatment of a broad range ofgenetic diseases (Professor Huntington F. Willard of the School ofMedicine and University Hospitals of Cleveland, in collaboration withcolleagues at Athersys, Inc., 1997).

CWRU admits students of any race, religion, age, sex, color, disability, sexual orientation, and national orethnic origin to all the rights and privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available tostudents at the University. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, age, sex, color, disability,sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin in administering its educational policies, admission policies,employment, promotion, and compensation policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or otherUniversity-administered programs.
CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY is located in Cleveland’sUniversity Circle, the 500-acre, park-like home of more than 40 cultural,medical, educational, religious, and social service institutions (see list ofmember institutions on page 7). The only independent, research-orienteduniversity in a region bounded by Pittsburgh and Rochester on the east,Nashville on the south, and Chicago on the west, Case Western Reserveholds membership in the Association of American Universities, and is ac-credited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Associa-tion of Colleges and Schools and by several nationally recognized profes-sional accrediting associations (see list on page 4).
History and Traditions
Although its origins date to 1826, the University in its present form isthe result of the 1967 federation of Case Institute of Technology andWestern Reserve University. The two institutions had shared adjacentcampuses since the late nineteenth century, and were involved in coop-erative efforts for many years. This union of an institute of technologyand a liberal arts university was unprecedented in higher education, asingular opportunity to promote interaction between the dominant themesin American culture.
Western Reserve College was founded in 1826 in Hudson, Ohio, atown 26 miles southeast of Cleveland. The College took its name from thatof the region which, at the time of the American Revolution, was known asthe Western Reserve of Connecticut. In 1882, renamed Western ReserveUniversity and boasting a medical school in addition to its undergraduateprograms, the institution moved to the Cleveland site that later becameknown as University Circle. There it joined the Case School of AppliedScience, founded in 1880 through the bequest of Leonard Case, Jr., aleading citizen of Cleveland. The name Case Institute of Technology wasadopted in 1947 to reflect the institution’s growing stature in the sciencesand engineering.
Among the earliest and best known examples of collaboration betweenthe two schools was the Michelson-Morley experiment, performed on thecurrent campus in 1887 by one faculty member from Case School of Ap-plied Science and one from Western Reserve University. In seeking toascertain the effect on the speed of light of the earth’s motion around thesun, physicist Albert A. Michelson and chemist Edward W. Morley obtainedperhaps the most significant set of scientific measurements ever made.Had the results of their experiment been different, Albert Einstein’s theoryof relativity would not have been regarded as viable, and our presentconception of space and time would be altered. The tradition of thisexperiment lives on in the periodic presentation of the Michelson-MorleyAward to recognize outstanding researchers.
In the 175 years since its founding, the University has developed awide array of traditions, many of which are annual events. For example,the beginning of each academic year features an address by the Presidenton “The State of the University.” Fall semester includes Freshman Orienta-tion, Homecoming Weekend, and Parents’ Weekend. Spring semester bringsa two-day science fiction film marathon, the Faculty-Staff Talent Show,Greek Week, Engineers’ Week, and the Hudson Relays, a 26-mile relay racebetween undergraduate classes to commemorate the move from theoriginal campus of Western Reserve College to the present campus.

academic year ends with commencement exercises and diploma ceremo-nies attended by more than 10,000 faculty, graduates, and their families.
Vision for 2000-2010
The following statement has been endorsed by the Board of Trustees:Case Western Reserve is a preeminent research university recog-
nized nationally and internationally for its outstanding programs of educa-tion, innovation, and scholarship, and for its value to society. We arecommitted to the pursuit of excellence in all of our activities, choosing todo only what we can do exceptionally well.
We place the highest priority on learning, as represented in educationat all levels and in our research activities, and it is this priority that hasfirst call on the University’s human, financial, and physical resources.
We work toward shared goals as a community in a setting noted forits intellectual vitality, interactivity, and interdisciplinary collaboration,and we value the importance of diversity, teamwork, communication, andthe unique contributions of each participant.
Leadership is an underlying theme, manifest in the recruitment andadvancement of our students, faculty, and staff, the development of newprograms of research and instruction, the cultivation of learning beyondthe classroom through extracurricular activities, and in our interactionswith local, national, and international communities.
We stress innovation in our research and educational programs and,where possible, we seek ways to ensure that the results of this activitybenefit society.
To leverage our research capabilities and to enrich the learningexperience of our students, we form strategic partnerships with othercenters of learning, research, and culture, and with community andinternational organizations, businesses, and corporate entities.
Students
Case Western Reserve enrolls more than 9,500 students - 38 percentin undergraduate programs, and the balance in graduate and professionalprograms. (See table on page 3.) Seventy percent of all students attendfull time. Among the University’s 1,411 international students are repre-sentatives of 95 nations. Domestic students represent all 50 states andthe District of Columbia.
Admission to CWRU’s programs is highly selective, producing a studentbody with strong academic credentials and the ability and willingness toaccommodate diverse interests and points of view among fellow students.The academic qualifications of the fall 2001 entering freshman class onceagain compared favorably with those of students at the nation’s otherleading universities, with SAT composite scores ranging from 1260 (25thpercentile) to 1420 (75th percentile). Nearly ninety percent of CWRU’sfreshmen rank in the top 20 percent of their high-school graduatingclasses.
Applicants to CWRU’s various graduate and professional programs areevaluated by each of the academic units offering these programs. Admis-sion to these advanced programs is also highly selective.
About 75 percent of the University’s undergraduate students live oncampus in residence halls and in fraternity and sorority houses. A muchsmaller share of graduate and professional students live on campus, al-
2
though many others rent nearby apartments. Students elect representa-tives to serve on a number of governance and leadership panels, withcoordination provided by the Office of Student Affairs and the deans’offices. More than 100 student organizations offer opportunities for recre-ation, volunteer service, and personal growth, including many activitiesthat address community priorities.
Faculty
The full-time faculty numbers over 2,200, supplemented by part-timeand voluntary faculty. Virtually all hold the doctorate or other appropriateterminal degree. Thirty-two percent of the members of the full-time fac-ulty have tenured appointments. The University expects current andprospective faculty to be dedicated to effective teaching as well as toresearch and scholarship. CWRU’s former students and faculty include

Research and Scholarship
Research, scholarship, and creative endeavor infuse the campusenvironment at CWRU, and many faculty have gained national and interna-tional attention for their important contributions to advancing knowledgeand human understanding. Faculty success in this realm is measured notonly in external funds awarded to support research, but also in books,articles, performances, recordings, exhibits, and other achievements. TheUniversity recognizes that different disciplines have their own pathwaysand criteria for achievement, and it actively encourages cooperation andcreative collaboration among its researchers.
University faculty often work through one or more of the University’snearly 100 designated research centers and laboratories, many of whichare interdisciplinary in nature, in addition to traditional departmentalfacilities. Among these special settings for research and teaching arecenters and institutes that focus on such topics as child development,microgravity, Jewish studies, electrochemistry, aging, management ofnonprofit organizations, Alzheimer’s disease, technology management, andmany more.

Alumni
The University has awarded more than 120,000 degrees during itshistory, including nearly 2,600 in the 2000-01 academic year. Living alumninumber approximately 96,000. About 30 percent of the University’s alumnilive in Northeast Ohio, with other major concentrations in California andFlorida and in the Middle Atlantic states. The campus-based staff of theOffice of Alumni Affairs provides coordination and support for programs andother activities, supplemented by a part-time representative based inTokyo who works with the University’s many alumni in Asia.
The University Alumni Council, the governing body for the CWRUAlumni Association, consists of representatives of each of the alumniassociations for the several schools and colleges and the regional alumni
11
chapter organizations (now numbering 23 internationally). The AlumniAssociation’s mission is to promote the welfare of the University as awhole, to enhance communication between the University and its alumni,to act as an advisory body to the leadership of the University, and todevelop a sense of unity among all alumni.
In addition to providing generous financial support for the institution,University alumni are active in such areas as student recruitment, place-ment, and career advising, and many serve on visiting committees andother groups that help strengthen academic programs and services in theschools and colleges. Communication with alumni is accomplished throughCWRU Magazine, published quarterly, and mailings from the Office of AlumniAffairs and from the various schools and colleges.

University students and faculty participate with these institutions in awide range of joint programs of teaching and research.
The University’s campus activities take place in 87 buildings desig-nated for academic, administrative, and residential use and encompassingmore than 5,600,000 gross square feet of space. By far the majority ofthis space is used for academic and administrative purposes, including fourmajor and several smaller libraries with collections that number more than2,000,000 volumes. The University also operates a 450-acre farm in Hunt-ing Valley, a suburb east of the campus, as a site for research, teaching,and recreation.
In 1988, the University completed a master plan for the physicaldevelopment of the campus, setting priorities for the next several yearsand guidelines for campus development for the following quarter century.In addition to such elements as a campus “heart” in the geographic centerof the University, a unifying campus walkway to connect familiar pointsand provide a welcoming path, and a clearly defined campus entry, themaster plan called for the construction of a number of major new buildings.
In May 2001, the Board of Trustees approved a second campusmaster plan, updating the 1988 plan and calling for completely new ap-proaches to student residential space as well as new and renovatedfacilities for academic programs. The new plan, which carries an estimatedprice of $500 million, envisions a campus with enhanced social interaction,a campus that is more outwardly focused and more integrated with ourneighboring institutions and communities.
Community and Regional Impact
Central to Case Western Reserve’s mission is a strong interest in theimprovement and enhancement of Cleveland and the Northeast Ohioregion. The list of University activities and programs that contribute to thequality of life and the economic development of Cleveland and its environsis extensive (see list at left for some examples). It includes several lectureand concert series, theater productions, and a well-regarded film series,all open to campus and community audiences alike. Many of theUniversity’s schools and colleges offer symposia and continuing educationprograms of interest to professionals. Other programs include specialefforts to assist students - especially minority students - and teachers inCleveland-area primary and secondary schools, extensive relationshipswith social service agencies throughout the region, and availability ofcampus facilities and services for eligible members of the larger community.
In keeping with the University’s major commitments in the professions,faculty and students play important roles in providing medical, dental, andnursing care and social services for the region. Most of this care is pro-vided at the various hospitals with which the University maintains affilia-tions, including University Hospitals of Cleveland, and through a network ofsocial service agencies throughout the region. In addition, the School ofDentistry operates its own clinic on campus, and the School of Law oper-ates a legal clinic which serves needy area residents.
Case Western Reserve’s role in regional and national economic devel-opment has grown in recent years, often serving as a model for institu-tions elsewhere in the nation. Some of this activity has taken the form ofcollaboration with local, state, and federal agencies and industry groups inpartnerships designed to advance research in high-priority areas (see page

10). To provide additional encouragement and coordination for theseactivities, the University operates an Office of Community Relations, witha mandate to build links with organizations in the community and to workwith students, faculty, and staff interested in addressing communitypriorities. The University views this activity as part of its role of creating,preserving, and disseminating knowledge. A parallel activity, the Office ofStudent Community Service, focuses on helping students become engagedin community service activities.
The University is one of the region’s major employers, with a full-timework force of more than 4,900 and an annual payroll (excluding fringebenefit expenses) of about $202 million (excluding cross-billing for com-pensation of employees between the University and its affiliated hospi-tals). Non-salary expenditures by the University of more than $185 millionannually are directed primarily toward vendors in the region. If each dollarspent by the University and its employees circulates only one additionaltime before leaving the region — a very conservative estimate — thisspending would have an impact of approximately $800 million on the re-gional economy, supporting local government as well as area retailers,restaurants, hotels, construction firms, and other businesses.
International Impact
Advanced education, particularly at the level of the major researchuniversity, has long been an important element in relationships betweenthe United States and other countries. CWRU’s students, faculty, andstaff come from more than 100 countries, and their academic interestsreach every region of the world, reflected in regular and special discus-sions and other gatherings to examine or enjoy the political, economic,and cultural resources of many countries.
CWRU has established affiliations or other cooperative agreementswith universities in several other countries. Under the terms of thesearrangements the University operates faculty and student exchanges,special programs to meet priorities in other countries, and joint researchprojects involving experts from two or more institutions. These activitiesenhance the education of all of the University’s students and combine toproduce a supportive environment for advanced teaching and research.
The University periodically publishes an International ResourcesDirectory, providing a listing of the experience, research interests, andlanguage skills of hundreds of faculty and staff members who are active ininternational affairs.
Financial Summary
The University is in sound financial condition, having achieved amodest operating surplus in each of the past 29 fiscal years (see table onpage 15 for operating results for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1999through 2001). During this period the University has consolidated itsoperations, developed improved systems for financial controls, financedgrowth and improvement in academic and administrative programs andfacilities, and established reserves against anticipated future expenses.The University employs a “management center” system in which the deansof the several academic units have significant responsibilities for both theincome and expenses generated by their programs.

In addition to federal support for research and training and studentfinancial aid, the University currently receives about $5 million annuallyfrom the State of Ohio to help underwrite programs at the School ofMedicine. Cooperation such as this with federal and state efforts, as wellas with local and regional government programs, is important to theUniversity’s role as a leading institution in the region and throughout thenation.
Electronic Learning Environment
Case Western Reserve is strongly committed to using advancedinformation technology to support teaching, research, and related activi-ties. The basic elements of this “electronic learning environment” arepowerful personal computers, massive information storehouses based onmainframe and minicomputer servers, and CWRUnet, the high-speed, fiber-optic cable that links them to more than 14,000 locations in libraries,offices, classrooms, laboratories, and residence halls. The result is thatstudents, faculty, and staff have nearly ubiquitous access to local andremote information: electronic mail, research and administrative data,journal articles, and video and graphics.
The Kelvin Smith Library, completed in 1996, is a central library thatserves as an intellectual and physical hub for the fiber-optic spokes thatnow link computing equipment throughout the campus, and for the learningthat represents the University’s principal mission. The library integratestraditional library holdings and services (e.g., reference, reserved sections,and “stacks”) with sophisticated electronic information technology, includ-ing more than 1,100 CWRUnet ports. Traditionally quiet study areas arecomplemented by spaces designed specifically for group use. In brief, thenew facility represents a change in the role of the library: from storage ofmaterial to information delivery.
The advances in information management made possible by thecreation of the “electronic learning environment” are being felt as well inthe relationships between students and faculty. Over time, the facultymember’s role is increasingly focused on helping students develop intellec-tual skills they will use for a lifetime. Faculty members, often with studentassistance, have designed courseware tailored to individual courses orstudents, and is available to the students in these courses whenever andas often as they wish to use these materials. More than 300 courses havealready been affected in this effort. The University offers distance learningopportunities in some fields of study. These are designed both to enhancethe educational experiences of traditional student groups and to reachadditional student populations.
Private Support
Essential to the University’s tradition of independence is recognitionof the importance of private giving. The University maintains a diversearray of fund-raising efforts directed toward alumni and other friends,foundations, corporations, and other private sources. Beginning in the mid-1970s, there has been considerable growth in support from foundationsand corporations and from the University’s alumni and other friends.
CWRU achieved a record of $202.6 million in new gifts and pledgecommitments during the year ending June 30, 2001, including major gifts-in-kind. Of this total, the University received a record $180.9 million in

The University’s Board of Trustees, with 53 active members and 23honorary members, is the institution’s principal governing body (see listingon pages 20-22). The Trustees select the president, evaluate thepresident’s performance, set major institutional policies, approve theappointment of faculty and key administrators, and grant specific authori-zation to University officers to make major commitments of funds and tointroduce, modify, and eliminate programs. The Trustees also are respon-sible for interpreting, promoting, and supporting the institution. The Presi-dent serves, ex officio, as a voting member of the Board of Trustees. Noother employee or student of the University serves as a Trustee. CharlesP. Bolton is Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Frank N. Linsalata isVice Chairman.
The full Board of Trustees meets three times each year. The Boardhas 11 standing committees, including a 13-member Executive Committeethat meets during times when the full Board does not meet, and can actfor the full Board in most matters. The other standing committees meetless frequently, often in conjunction with meetings of the full Board ofTrustees.
The approximately 250 members of the various visiting committees areselected on the basis of their professional accomplishments and theirinterest in the institution. They review the programs and progress of theUniversity’s schools and colleges and other selected activities.
