Charles F. Thwing

For three decades, President Charles F. Thwing expanded ΒιΆΉΣ³»­β€™s campus through additions of the schools of library science, applied social sciences, law, dentistry, pharmacy, education and the graduate school. 

An advocate for a close relationship between Case School of Applied Science and Western Reserve, Thwing also played a role in launching a cooperative program between the two institutions in 1903. The collaboration allowed fourth-year students from Adelbert College to enroll with third-year standing at Case and earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Western Reserve and a Bachelor of Science degree from Case after two years of study. 

Thwing served as president from 1890 to 1921, and Thwing Center, a campus fixture since 1980, was named in his honor.
