In 1908, the village of Collinwood Ohio was experiencing an enormous growth of population and industry. As railroad tycoons acquired and built on land that was once farms, village directors and real estate developers worked furiously to plan for life around a constantly changing and expanding landscape.

As part of this growth, schools were a necessity of the community. With a population that consisted mostly of eastern European immigrants and their children, education was considered key to the future of the village. However, such rapid growth came with some very high costs.

On the morning of March fourth, 1908, over three-hundred-fifty children would walk into the Lake View School. One-hundred-seventy-five would never live to see the end of the day. Now, one-hundred-fifteen years later, Jeff Moss, Tyler J. Thomas, and Tim Coleman will tell this story and examine what was to blame for this senseless loss of life, and how we prevent it from happening again today.
