In 1995, Scott co-authored with Charles Lowery ''Old Main: Memories of a Legend'', the history of the original MSU dormitory razed by fire in 1959. During its eighty years of existence, Old Main housed some forty thousand young men over four generations. The structure became the embodiment of MSU. At the time of its demise it was believed to have been the largest dormitory under one roof in the United States. Scott and Lowery include photographs and reminiscences of some of the men who lived in Old Main.><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.librarything.com/work/3943947|title=Old Main: Memories of a Legend|publisher=library.thing.com|accessdate=November 3, 2019}}</ref>
