Leonard Case Jr. provided the vision and foundation for technical and scientific study in Cleveland amid a national focus on the humanities as the end of the industrial revolution propelled society forward. Case collaborated with prominent Clevelanders and made an imprint on the Cleveland landscape. In death, the philanthropist provided a deed trust to start a technical school, leaving $1.25 million and 200 acres of land to establish the Case School of Applied Science.
