Western Reserve’s Founding
Western Reserve College was founded in 1826 in Hudson, Ohio, about 30 miles southeast of Cleveland. The college—the first in northern Ohio—took its name from the surrounding region (known at that time as the Western Reserve of Connecticut). Yet it stood out in the mid- and late-19th century as one of only a few institutions that sought innovation and embraced the sciences.
1826年，西储学院成立于克利夫兰东南30英里处的哈德逊市。作为俄亥俄北部首所高等学府，其名源自康涅狄格州西部保留地的历史称谓。19世纪中后期，该校已成为少数追求创新、崇尚科学的先驱机构之一。
As the 20th century approached, a newly thriving economy had led to unprecedented population and financial growth in Cleveland. The progress made the city hungry for a university. With funding from American industrialist Amasa Stone, the college moved in 1882 to “uptown” Cleveland, where it lives today, and assumed the name Western Reserve University.
随着20世纪临近，克利夫兰经济腾飞带动人口与资本激增，对大学建设需求日益迫切。1882年，在美国实业家阿马萨·斯通的资助下，学院迁至克利夫兰上城（现址），并更名为西储大学。
The Case Story
The new university wouldn’t occupy this stretch of Euclid Avenue alone. Five years before Western Reserve’s big move, attorney and philanthropist Leonard Case Jr. had initiated a secret trust to endow a polytechnic school in Cleveland. This school would train men in engineering, sciences, mining, metallurgy and more. Just months after his death in 1880, the Case School of Applied Science was born.
这片欧几里德大道上的校园并非西储独有。五年前，律师兼慈善家伦纳德·凯斯二世秘密设立信托基金，旨在克利夫兰创建理工学校。这所院校致力于培养工程、科学、采矿、冶金等多领域的专业人才。1880年其逝世数月后，凯斯应用科学学院正式成立。
Classes initially were held in the Case family’s downtown Cleveland home until a provision to Stone’s gift—that Western Reserve University and the Case School of Applied Science occupy adjoining campuses—led to the school’s relocation in 1885 after a committee for the two institutions raised funds for the land—and landowners Cordelia Ford and Liberty Holden sold a 43-acre parcel at a substantial discount. Funds for the land, however, had to be raised by the community.
课程最初在凯斯家族位于克利夫兰市中心的宅邸中进行，直至1885年因斯通捐赠条款要求——西储大学与凯斯应用科学学院须共享毗邻校园——促使校址迁址。此前两校联合委员会已成功筹得购地资金，地主科迪莉亚·福特与利伯蒂·霍尔顿则以大幅优惠价格出售了43英亩土地。不过值得注意的是，购地资金最终仍需通过社会募捐方式筹措。
A committee for the two institutions raised $119,400 from 56 donors by March 1881. A land purchase discount from Cordelia Ford and Liberty E. Holden, whose 43-acre property formed the early campus, netted $33,000.
截至1881年3月，两校联合委员会从56名捐赠者处募集了119,400美元。科迪莉亚·福特和利伯蒂·E·霍尔登提供的购地折扣更是净省33,000美元——他们名下43英亩的地产构成了校园的早期规模。
The Federation of Case Western Reserve University 凯斯西储大学的联合办校
The joint land purchase was the first of many collaborations between Western Reserve University and the Case School of Applied Science. Over the years, the university developed strong liberal arts and professional programs, while the applied science school, which adopted the name Case Institute of Technology in 1947, became a leading school of science and engineering.
联合购地是西储大学和凯斯应用科学学院多次合作中的第一次。多年来，该大学发展了强大的文科和职业课程，而这所应用科学学校于1947年更名为凯斯理工学院，成为领先的科学和工程学院。
By the mid-1960s, the two institutions’ leaders began to recognize the substantial benefits of becoming a single institution. After extensive study and discussion, the boards approved federation. On July 1, 1967, Case Western Reserve University became an official entity—although the full process of integration took another quarter-century to finish.
到20世纪60年代中期，两家机构的领导人开始意识到成为一个单一机构的巨大好处。经过广泛的研究和讨论，董事会批准了联合。1967年7月1日，凯斯西储大学正式成立——尽管整个整合过程又花了四分之一个世纪才完成。
Modern-Day CWRU 当代发展图景
Today, Case Western Reserve boasts strong partnerships across Cleveland that benefit our students and the city. For example: Health sciences students get hands-on experience caring for community members through clinical experiences at Cleveland Clinic, Louis Stokes VA Medical Center, MetroHealth Medical Center and University Hospitals, and art history students take classes and contribute to the understanding of works at Cleveland Museum of Art.
今日的凯斯西储大学与克利夫兰各界构建深厚伙伴关系：健康科学学生在克利夫兰诊所、路易斯斯托克斯退伍军人医疗中心、都会健康医疗中心及大学医院获得临床实践机会；艺术史学者在克利夫兰艺术博物馆深化理论研究——真正实现学术与城市发展的共生共荣。
