Western Reserve College, the college of the [[Connecticut Western Reserve]], was founded in 1826 in [[Hudson, Ohio]], as the [[Western Reserve Academy|Western Reserve College and Preparatory School]]. Western Reserve College, or "Reserve" as it was popularly called, was the first college in northern Ohio.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://case.edu/about/history.html|title=Visiting Case: Case Western Reserve University|publisher=Case.edu|access-date=2015-09-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151113172734/http://case.edu/about/history.html|archive-date=November 13, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> The school was called "Yale of the West"; its campus, now that of the [[Western Reserve Academy]], imitated that of Yale. It had the same motto, "Lux et Veritas" (Light and Truth), the same entrance standards, and almostnearly the same curriculum. It was different from Yale in that it was a [[manual labor college]], in which students were required to perform manual labor, seen as psychologically beneficial.<ref name=Sernett2004>{{cite book

President [[Charles Backus Storrs]] took a leave of absence for health, and soon died. One of the two remaining professors, [[Elizur Wright]], soon left to head the [[American Anti-Slavery Society]]. The center of American abolitionism, along with support from the well-to-do [[Arthur Tappan|Tappan brothers]], moved with Green to the [[Oneida Institute]] near Utica, New York, then, after a student walk-out, to [[Lane Seminary]] near Cincinnati, and finally, after a second mass student walkout, to [[Oberlin Collegiate Institute]], later Oberlin College. "Oberlin's student body was the beneficiary of anti-abolitionist censure from other regional colleges, especially the Western Reserve College in nearby Hudson.

There had been some discussion of a merger of the two institutions as early as 1890, but those talks dissolved quickly. In the 1920s, the Survey Commission on Higher Education in Cleveland took a strong stand in favor of federation and the community was behind the idea as well, but in the end all that came of the study was a decision by the two institutions to cooperate in founding Cleveland College, a special unit for part-time and adult students in [[downtown Cleveland]].
 
By the 1960s, Reserve President [[John S. Millis|John Schoff Millis]] and Case President [[T. Keith Glennan]] shared the idea that federation would create a complete university, one better able to attain national distinction. Financed by the [[Carnegie Corporation]], [[Cleveland Foundation]], [[Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation]], and several local donors, a study commission of national leaders in higher education and public policy was charged with exploring the idea of federation. The Heald Commission, so known for its chair, former [[Ford Foundation]] President [[Henry Townley Heald|Henry T. Heald]], issuedpredicted in its final report, "Vision of a University." The report predicted that a federation could create one of the largest private universities in the nation.

In 2003, the university unveiled a new logo and branding campaign that emphasized the "Case" portion of its name. In 2006, interim [[Chancellor (education)|university president]] Gregory Eastwood convened a task group to study reactions to the campaign. The panel's report indicated that it had gone so poorly that, "There appear to be serious concerns now about the university's ability to recruit and maintain high-quality faculty, fund-raising and leadership." Also, the logo was derided among the university's community and alumni and throughout northeastern Ohio; critics said it looked like "...a fat man with a surfboard."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://observer.case.edu/Archives/Volume_39/Issue_14/Story_1325/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080908003353/http://observer.case.edu/Archives/Volume_39/Issue_14/Story_1325/|title=Branding Task Group to end logo woes|archive-date=September 8, 2008}}</ref>
