In 1936, Smith College showed their appreciation for all that she had done for the school by naming one of the new dormitories the Laura Scales House. One of the quotes she used throughout her life was that "education was the backbone of living. It makes the world interesting."Fact|date=December 2007

Scales died in 1990 at the age of 110, one of the oldest people in the world at the time.
