Part III: Planning

“That many institutions, the primary purpose of which is education, should become the neighbors of a group which already includes Western Reserve University, Case School, the Museum of Art and others, in a setting ideal for distinctive architecture, was a dream long cherished by a few Cleveland citizens of great vision.”

Canton K. Matson and Harold T. Clark, “The Cleveland Education Group Plan,” Your Garden, 1928.

“University Circle did not just happen, it was planned.”

Kenneth Pinkerton, president of University Circle Inc., 1989.
