Music
Past UPB concerts: others: Everclear, P. Funk, Ben Folds. Anyone know where there's a full list? I'm interested in putting a list up here in the Music section along with a list of Case bands and other musical groups. - McCart42 (talk) 15:52, 2005 May 31 (UTC)

 * Everclear was 2001-10-05 (Adelbert Gym), Ben Folds was 2003-04-16 (Severence Hall). Those are the two I went to.  P. Funk was 2002 maybe?  I think Jurassic 5 was the big show one semester, maybe 2004.  Violent Femmes played sometime before 2001.  That's what I can recall off the top of my head. Pimlottc 21:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

The below is a condensed version of the text previously at the deleted CWRU music scene writeup. While I realize that the vote was clear to delete (not merge), it is my hope that a condensed version (perhaps just a sentence with a comma separated list of these bands/musical performance groups) could be kept in this article (rather than a separate "music scene" article). Comments? - McCart42 (talk) 21:49, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)

Several bands were formed by Case Western Reserve students; a few are still active in the Cleveland area. There are also several musical performance organizations which have steady recruitment efforts to replace members who graduate. Many of these bands played at the annual Springfest event.

Bands and Musical Groups
These groups contain or were formed by one or more Case students. The original members may or may not have graduated, and thus the band may or may not still be on campus.

Music Performance Groups
These groups have ongoing recruitment efforts, and generally only current students are members, though a few sometimes have alumni members. -

Michelson-Morley Experiment
That the university was the "site" of this experiment is misleading as this implies that it was performed at the current university's location, which is wrong. The experiment was actually performed at what is now Western Reserve Academy, which was formerly Western Reserve College. The wording should be changed to reflect this. Otherwise this page is not accurate.

I've edited to reflect this. -- 164.107.243.81 18:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Is there a source for this claim? Numerous signs and plaques around the current CWRU campus say that the experiment took place "near this spot," and I presume the town of Hudson doesn't count as "near." The experiment was performed in 1886 in a WRU dormitory (http://ech.case.edu/ech-cgi/article.pl?id=ME). Without doing too much research, I can say for certain that WRU was located in University Circle in Cleveland, and not in Hudson anymore, as at least one WRU administration building (which still stands today) was built in University Circle in 1883 (http://www.case.edu/its/archives/Buildings/adlmai.htm). Thus, if the experiment took place at Western Reserve College/University in 1886, it must have been in University Circle, current location of CWRU. Changing the article back.

Here is a correction of some errors above: The Michelson-Morley experiment was indeed performed on what is now the Case Western Reserve University campus, in Adelbert Dormitory, which once stood on Adelbert Road, 100 yards from Adelbert Hall, which was then and is now the university's main administration building (in University Circle, Cleveland). The experiment was performed and published in 1887, not 1886. This article and the corresponding article on the Michelson-Morley experiment have been properly edited (and supplied with appropriate source references) to reflect these facts. Western Reserve Academy, a prep school in Hudson, Ohio, occupies the former campus (from 1826 to 1882) of Western Reserve College, but it is otherwise unconnected with CWRU or with its historical predecessors.Ajrocke (talk) 15:08, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Research Associations
The emphasis at the beginning of the article is that Case Western Reserve University is a grand 'Research Institituion'. However, there is not much here about related research associations. National Center for Space Exploration Research and NASA collaboration, Great Lakes Energy Institute, Institute for the Science of Origins, Swagelok Center for Surface Science, etc. There is also no mention of the multiple space flight experiments performed on the space shuttle and international space station.

think[box] has gained national attention and recognition. It has also become a selling point for potential students. Perhaps, it should be discussed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:8b1a:9930:fc51:a6f:e794:db95 (talk • contribs) 17:34, November 22, 2014‎
 * First, we need you (or someone else) to provide reliable sources substantiating your claims of "national attention and recognition." Second, note that we have no interest whatsoever in promoting "selling point[s] for potential students" as this is an encyclopedia article and not an admissions brochure or marketing piece for the university.

 * Think[box] is the re-branding of a moderately equipped machine shop. The Cleveland Public Library has the same services available.  The university newsletter and brochures do not constitute national recognition. 129.22.156.47 (talk) 17:48, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
