The Changing Campus
The first classes were held using leased space in the Continental Fire Hall in downtown Houghton. This building still stands and is currently being used for storage. It can be seen on Montezuma avenue, right next to the old Portage Lake District Library.
Hubbell Hall
The first building on campus, completed in 1890, was originally known simply as “The Mining School.” Once a second building was constructed to house engineering disciplines, it became known as “The Science building.” For most of its existence, it was known as Hubbell Hall. Hubbell Hall was demolished in 1968. It was approximately where the MEEM building is currently located. This archival photo can be found in numerous MTU publications.
By 1928 there were more than a half-dozen buildings on campus. The 1928 Library later became known as “academic offices and the library,” with an addition built to the north. Now it is the home of Social Science, Business, and Education. The Gymnasium, next to Hubbell Hall, currently houses ROTC. The Chemistry and Metallurgy buildings shown are replacements for earlier Chemistry and Metallurgy buildings which burned in 1920 and 1923 respectively. Both Chemistry buildings were known as Koenig Hall. The new metallurgy building would be known as McNair Hall (not to be confused with the current residence hall of the same name).
By 1955, some of campus has spilled over to the south side of College Avenue. The President’s House (Bldg 9, at the corner of Oak St and Houghton Ave) is approximately where Fisher Hall’s large lecture room, Fisher 135, is currently located.
Around 1970, US41 was routed around campus as a four lane highway. Shortly after this, most of College Avenue through campus was removed.
In 2002, the Rozsa Center for the Performing was built to the East of Walker Arts Center (which itself was a “remodel” of Sherman Gym). A major building project was undertaken in 2004 between Fisher Hall and the Van Pelt Library to add computer facilities, classroom space, and to improve the Library. Phase II of this work will be a remodelling of Fisher Hall. A second floor walkway connects the new construction and the library.
From 1927 until 1964 the institution was known as the Michigan College of Mining and Technology (MCMT).
A new State of Michigan Constitution was adopted by the MI Constitutional Convention on August 1, 1962. The vote to ratify the new constitution was certified on June 20, 1963 (with 50.2% in favor, 49.8% against). That constitution refers to the Michigan College of Science and Technology in Article VIII, Sec 4, and was to take effect January 1, 1964. The Tech Board of Control had discussed the name change issue prior to this but deferred any action until after the vote on the new constitution.
On October 11, 1963, the Tech Board of Control was given two resolutions, one to change the name to Michigan College of Science and Technology (MCST) and one to change to Michigan Technological University (MTU). The resolution to change to MCST passed and the one for MTU was not acted upon. The resolution called for the name change to take effect “on January 1, 1964” and to remain “the official name until such time as the Board of Control may select and adopt another name.” However it is not clear that the Tech Board of Control had the authority to change the name of the institution.
There was no mention of the Board’s action in the newspapers for some time. The first seems to have been almost a month later in the Student Newspaper, The Lode. Following that, a large number of articles, editorials, and letters to the editor appeared pushing for the “University” designation.
On December 3, 1963, Senate Bill 1016 and House Bill 56 were introduced to the second extra session of the Michigan Legislature. These were identical bills which renamed MCMT to MCST and increased the size of the Board of Control. House Bill 56 was later amended in committee to change the name to MTU rather than to MCST. As originally introduced, these bills were to take effect “on January 1, 1964.”
Also early in December Senate Bill 1008 was introduced which, after amendment, renamed MCMT to MTU.
House Bill 56 (as amended) and Senate Bill 1008 passed and ended up as public acts 21 and 49. Senate Bill 1016 was never passed, presumably because the identical House Bill had already passed. Public act 21 also changes the names of Ferris Institute to Ferris State College, and Grand Valley College to Grand Valley State College.
The wording regarding the name change is similar in public acts 21 and 49. Quoting from public act 49: “The institution established in the Upper Peninsula known as the Michigan college of mining and technology, referred to in the constitution of 1963 as the Michigan college of science and technology, is continued after January 1, 1964, under the name of Michigan Technological University, …”
The phrase “after January 1, 1964” was explicitly added by amendment. Possibly this was to avoid a constitutional crisis since the constitution was to take effect “on January 1, 1964,” with the MCST name. However, the wording in the constitution also included the phrase “… by whatever names (MCST) may be hereafter known.” How long “after” the name changes were to take effect is not specified in the legislation.
The bills were signed into law by governor George Romney on December 27, 1963 and were to take effect immediately. A picture of the bill signing can be found in the 1948 Keweenawan (the MTU yearbook), page 48, as well as in the local newspaper.
At their February 14, 1964, meeting the Tech Board of Control passed a resolution “ratifying and confirming” the name Michigan Technological University and ordering “that the name Michigan Technological University be used hereafter as the legal and official name of the institution.” Again, it may be the Board of Control overstepped its authority. At the same meeting they considered some new designs for official seals and insignia but postponed action until later. The minutes of that meeting indicate that President Van Pelt thanked the Board of Control members for their support for the MTU name which they had communicated to the state legislature the previous December, though no mention of the subject could be found in the minutes of the Board of Control’s meeting from December. Presumably the support was given as a private communication and not through official action of the Board.
In none of these is there any mention of Tech having the MCST name for one hour, or for any length of time at all, as a matter of fact. On page 8 of the Daily Mining Gazette of December 31, 1963, before any changes took effect, is a brief report about some students who had purchased rings and sweaters with the MCST name in anticipation of that new name which never happened, and how the students were pleased, rather than disappointed, to have a unique artifact of the process. It is clear that most, if not all, regarded the change in name as being directly from MCMT to MTU and that that was the intention behind the legislation.
Tech Students Jump the Gun: Name Change
A few Michigan Tech students are having the rare opportunity these days of wearing the emblem or insignia of a college which does not exist despite the fact that the institution represented does have a tradition which goes back more than three-quarters of a century. The students are sporting either sweaters or rings of the Michigan College of Science and Technology, an institutional name which had been projected but which never matured into a realistic title. The unusual rings or sweaters were procured through supposition on the part of their purchasers that Michigan Tech would bear the Michigan College of Science and Technology title Jan. 1. Recent action on the part of college authorities and others, however, have given the onetime Michigan College of Mines the title of Michigan Technological University. On Jan. 1, as a result, this name will apply to Tech thus making it one of the state’s universities. Instead of a regretful purchase on the part of the purchaser, actually he may think of his new ring or sweater as a rare item. The token could well give the student the unusual opportunity of wearing the item of a college which never existed despite the fact that college authorities had approved the title Michigan Tech has had four names during its history. It has been a school, college and, now, a university
Whether or not the Board of Control has any name changing authority is also somewhat vague in the legislation. Within public act 49 is a statement regarding the powers of the Board of Control. After a detailed list which makes no mention of authority regarding the institution’s name, is the statement “All powers customarily exercised by the governing board of a college or university are vested in the board. The enumeration of powers herein is not deemed to exclude any of such powers not expressly excluded by law.” Since many colleges and universities have changed their name due to action of their governing board — a recent local example being the change from Suomi College to Finlandia University — perhaps the board does have name changing power.
Hence, it would indeed seem possible that, by a quirk, “on January 1, 1964” our name was MCST (due to the Board action on October 11 and/or due to the new constitution) and then the MTU name took effect only “after January 1, 1964.”
(If you have an artifact from 1963 with the MCST name on it, the MTU Archives would like to hear from you.)
Campus Maps
A current campus map is available. While we provide some examples over the years, older campus maps and other historical descriptions of the campus can be found in a number of places, one convenient location is within the University catalogs, a collection of which can be found at the MTU Archives and Copper Country Historical Collection located within the Van Pelt Library.
Fisher Hall
Construction began on a new Physics and Mathematics Building in 1962. Shortly before the groundbreaking, James Fisher, Jr., passed away. Fisher had been Professor and Department head of Mathematics and Physics for over 40 years, on the faculty for 50 years, and after his mandatory retirement in 1944, he remained active, especially with the alumni association. He was a Michigan Mining School graduate (1893) and Hancock native and he was much respected in the community. In recognition of his contributions to Michigan Tech and the community, the new building was named for him and was dedicated to him when it opened in 1964.
Fisher Hall currently houses the departments of Physics and Mathematical Sciences. Up until 2004, it also housed Computer Science. Fisher Hall has a large number of classrooms which are used by many other departments on campus. Of the academic buildings on campus, it is now one of the oldest.
An addition, named the Kanwal and Ann Rekhi Computer Science Hall, was added during 2003-2004 to the West side of the building (to the left in the picture above) largely to house computer science faculty and classrooms. During the summer of 2006, some of the classrooms and public areas inside Fisher Hall received a much-needed face lift. For a more detailed history of Fisher Hall see Michigan Tech News, 50 Years of Fisher Hall.
Statements of Purpose
General Statement
"The Michigan College of Mines was established by an Act of the
Legislature in 1885. The act was entitled 'An Act to establish and
regulate a Mining School in the Upper Peninsula.' The Act vests the
government of the institution in a Board of Control of six members
appointed by the Governor of the State, by and with the consent of the
Senate. Two members of the Board are appointed each alternate year
to serve six years.
Sec. 5 of this Act provides: 'The course of instruction shall
embrace geology, mineralogy, chemistry, mining and mining
engineering and such other branches of practical and theoretical
knowledge as will, in the opinion of the board, conduce to the end of
enabling the students of said institution to obtain a full knowledge of
the science, art and practice of mining, and the application of
machinery thereto.'”
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
"The concentration of effort on training men for the field of mining,
the location of the College in a district where its students live in a
mining atmosphere, together with its special methods of instruction,
and manner of using the mining environment, have brought to the
institution a large measure of success.
The College was established for, and exists only for the purpose of
training men to take an active part in the development of the mineral
wealth of the state and nation. The concentration of effort on a
particular line of training has its advantages. . . . . . ."
General Information
"The purpose of the College, as stated in the law is very broad. 'Said College
shall provide the inhabitants of this State with the means of acquiring a thorough
knowledge of the mineral industry in its various phases, and of the application of
science to industry, as exemplified by the various engineering courses offered at
technological institutions, and shall seek to promote the welfare of the industries
of the state . . .' This act was passed by the state legislature of 1927 and broadens
the scope of the College in recognition of existing facts. While in the past the
instruction given at the College has covered the mining and metallurgical fields,
these branches of engineering are really the application of civil, mechanical,
electrical and chemical engineering to the business of producing mineral wealth.
The successful mining engineer and metallurgical engineer require broad
knowledge of all phases of engineering, and as such are really entitled to
recognition as general engineers, equipped to undertake work in almost any
branch of the engineering profession. Consequently changing the name of the
College and broadening its scope to make it a college of technology, demands only
moderate additions to its curriculum, and very greatly increases its usefulness."
Department Head: Professor Stebbins
Professors: Bacon, Keeling, Longacre, Mitchell, Pratt, Wyble, and Yerg
Associate Professors: Baldwin, Chimino, Hinzmann, and Shandley
Assistant Professors: Mount and Parks
"PHYSICS is concerned with matter and energy and their
interactions, and hence is of fundamental importance in science and
engineering. Advances in knowledge of physics have been accompanied by
better understanding of the universe, by new or improved products, and by a
more effective utilization of natural resources.
Programs are available for students with high interest and aptitude in
mathematics and physical science to major in physics, applied physics, or
geophysical engineering. The curriculum in physics is designed primarily for
those students who plan to do graduate work and then engage in teaching or
research. The curriculum in applied physics is rich in mathematics and
engineering science and is technology-oriented, however, it need not be
considered a terminal program, since many of the graduates enroll in advanced
studies. The curriculum in geophysical engineering is designed to provide
enough engineering training so that the graduate may be immediately useful in
the industry, and also is sufficiently broad and thorough to permit students to
continue graduate work in geophysics.
For the students who establish good records in the undergraduate
curricula, additional training is strongly recommended. At the graduate level,
programs leading to the Master of Science degree in physics or in geophysics
are offered."

Physics Course Descriptions Through the Years
First Year
Professor Haynes
Fall and winter terms, three hours a week; spring term, fifteen hours a week.
Two terms of fourteen weeks each are spent upon the study of General Physics, including the topics of Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, Heat, Light, Magnetism and Electricity. In these two terms regular recitations are required, and the topics are illustrated by the instructor with lectures and experiments. This course closes with a term of six weeks of recitation and laboratory work, in which the student is required to do the work under the supervision of the instructor, the experiments being mostly in the domain of physical measurements, including those of Specific Gravity, Heat, Light and Electricity.
The method of instruction in this department combines recitations, lectures, laboratory work, and the solution of problems, in such a way as not only to afford the necessary variety, but at the same time to furnish also a constant encouragement to the student to become selfreliant both in his methods of thought and in his work.
In the laboratory work of this department each student is required to make a sketch and give a description of the apparatus used in each experiment; to put down his data, computation, conclusions, etc, during laboratory hours, in a note book; and, at the close of the laboratory work of each day to leave this book with the instructor for his inspection.
No student is permitted to take this practical laboratory course who has not passed in the necessary theoretical study and lectures that preceded it.

B. Physics
The President, Professor Fisher, Assistant Professor Grant, Messrs. Rood, Haigler, Jordan and Osborne
The aim in the department of Physics, as in that of Mathematics, is to select such objects as have, directly or indirectly, a bearing on the practical work of the mining engineer, and to treat these in as practical a manner as possible. The instruction is given by the laboratory method. The student goes at once into the laboratory, and there, under the direction of the instructors, experiments for himself. The experiments are mostly quantitative.
So far as possible mere mechanical following of direction is excluded, and intelligent thinking is made necessary to the accomplishment of the work. Every effort is put forth to have the student clearly develop and fix in his mind the principles of Physics which he will afterward use, and also to lay the foundation for that skill in accurate determination of quantity and care of delicate apparatus which are needed by the practical engineer. Accuracy and order are insisted on from the first. Each student receives individual attention, and, with the exception of a few experiments requiring more than one observer, he does his work independently of all other students.
The work of the laboratory is accompanied by illustrated lectures, and by text-book and recitation work.
The department is equipped with a good assortment of modern apparatus for lecture illustration and individual experiment.
B 1. General Physics
Professor Fisher, Assistant Professor Grant, Messrs. Rood, Haigler, Jordan and Osborne
This course includes Mechanics, Heat and Light. Lecture, recitation and laboratory work proceed together throughout the course. The geometrical side of Light is developed mostly in the laboratory, the wave theory in the lecture room with aid of the optical lantern.
Twelve hours a week, twenty-one weeks, winter and spring terms. To count as eight-tenths of a credit. Must be preceded by, or accompanied with A 1 (Algebra) and A 2 (Plane Trigonometry). The text books are Glazebrook’s Heat, Merrill’s Mechanics, and Laboratory Physics issued by the department.
B 2. Physical Measurements
Professor Fisher and Mr. Haigler
A more advanced course in measurements of precision, open to those who have taken B 1 and B 4 (Physics). The work offered will be mainly in the determination of densities, moments of inertia, calorimetry and photometry. Each student will work independently of all others, and to a considerable extent the choice of the line of work he is to pursue will lie with him.
Twenty-four hours a week, five weeks, last five weeks of the spring term. To count as four-tenths of a credit.
B 3. Electrical Measurements
Professor Fisher and Mr. Haigler
The increasing use of electricity in mining and related industries has caused the Michigan College of Mines to give particular attention to this subject.
This course is offered to those who are making Electrical Engineering their principal subject, to those who intend taking up Electrolytic or Electro-metallurgical work, and to any other who which to become familiar with those modern methods of electrical measurements necessary wherever there is made any practical application of this agent
In the course are included the measurements of current, resistance, potential difference, electromotive force, quantity, capacity, mutual and self induction, strength of field, etc.
In the lecture room the theory of a given measurement is taken up; then the construction and calibration of the instrument used in the measurement are studied, the instrument being at hand for inspection; and, finally, in the laboratory, the student calibrates, if necessary, and uses the instrument in making the measurement.
Examples of all the principal instruments used in modern electrical methods are owned by the institution, and are available for the work of this course.
The text book is Carhart and Patterson’s Electrical Measurements.

B. Physics
Messrs. Fisher, Partlo, Harrington, Sermon, Longacre, Knaebel and Owens
The aim in the Department of Physics, as in that of Mathematics, is to select such subjects as have, directly or indirectly, a bearing on the practical work of an engineer, and to treat these in as practical a manner as possible. The instruction is given by the laboratory method. The student goes at once into the laboratory and there under the direction of instructors, experiments for himself. The experiments are mostly quantitative.
So far as possible mere mechanical following of direction is excluded, and intelligent thinking is made necessary to the accomplishment of the work. Every effort is put forth to have the student clearly develop and fix in his mind the principles of Physics which he will afterwards use, and also to lay the foundation for that skill in accurate determination of quantity and care of delicate apparatus which are needed by the practical engineer. Accuracy and order are insisted on from the first. Each student receives individual attention, and, with the exception of a few experiments requiring more than one observer, he does his work independently of all other students
The work of the laboratory is accompanied with illustrated lectures, and with textbook and recitation work.
The department is equipped with a good assortment of modern apparatus for lecture illustration and individual experiment.

Endowments
These reflect endowments we have had in the past. For our current endowments and scholarships please refer to our Giving Opportunities.
Kusum Potnis established the Vasant R. Potnis Endowed Fellowship fund in memory of her late husband and physics professor emeritus. Dr. Potnis was a faculty member from 1968 until his retirement in 1996; he passed away in 2012. The Fellowship will provide financial support for graduate students pursuing a Master’s or PhD in physics.
Bacon was a Physics Department Faculty member, specializing in Geophysics, from 1950 to 1974 when the geophysics major was moved to the Geology department. He earned the Distinguished Research Award in 1960.
Fisher joined the faculty in 1895 and served as a faculty member for 50 years, much of that time as Head of the Math and Physics Department. He continued his involvement with the alumni association for almost twenty years after that.
William Longacre joined the faculty in 1929, retiring in 1971 after 42 years of service on the faculty including as Physics Department Head and Director of Geophysics.
Fay Partlo began on the faculty as an instructor in Math and Physics in 1923 and would later serve as the first Physics Department Head after the separation of Math and Physics. In 1953 he left his position as Professor of Physics and Dean of the College to become president of the South Dakota School of Mines.
Tom Sermon joined the Math and Physics department in 1926. Along the way he would serve as Professor and Head of the Physics department from 1949 to 1953, and then as registrar from 1954 until 1970.
Ian Shepherd was brought in to be Professor and Head of the Physics department in 1977 after a very long and difficult search. Unfortunately, he passed away due to illness within his first year at Tech.
Established in 1973 by Marc’s parents, Frank and Winifred Blackford, in memory of their son who was killed by a drunk driver in a 1973 car accident in Houghton. At the time of his death, Marc was a junior at MTU, majoring in physics.
John Miles was a devoted MTU alumnus and supported the University in an extraordinary way through the Presidents Club, McNair Society, and was a member of the Dillman Society. He graduated from MTU in 1935, having earned a BS in Electrical Engineering. Endowed scholarships were established in his name in support of graduate programs in Physics, Materials, and Electrical Engineering.
Howard Wilson, a U.P. native, obtained a BS in Physics at MCMT (now MTU) in 1959. After graduate work in Nuclear Physics at Indiana University, he worked at Science Applications International Corp (SAIC) in San Diego, CA, and is now retired. The Howard L and Marjie L Wilson Endowed Scholarships were established in 2000 to recognize MTU students pursuing a Bachelor of Science, Engineering, or post graduate degree.
Prof. Jerry Hall Service taught physics for 39 years. He was a member of the Tech Physics department from 1932 to 1952 and department head in 1947-48. A captain in the US Navy, he took time out during WW II to serve his country. When Service passed away at age 92, his family created a memorial fund in his honor, asking that the fund’s income be used to help Tech’s library purchase books or other materials in the fields of physics and astronomy.
