Inscription.

In 1946 the State of Michigan assumed control of New Fort Brady, and presented it to the Michigan College of Mining and Technology, now Michigan Technological University. The Houghton based school, forced to expand by the enrollment of returning veterans, adapted the old Army buildings to college classrooms, residence halls and offices. Not until 1964, with the completion of Crawford Hall, did the campus have a building constructed for educational purposes. The school's curriculum, which at first duplicated the main campus's engineering program was broadened. On January 1, 1970 the school became a separate and autonomous four-year institution called Lake Superior State College.

Erected 1976 by Michigan History Division, Department of State. (Marker Number L382.)
