[edit] Behind the scenes
The college is named in honor of Frank Marshall, a regular collaborator with Spielberg and a producer on all four films. When the college scenes were originally shot for Raiders of the Lost Ark, there was no perceived need to name the college, but when the novelization was being written, the author, Campbell Black, needed to call the college something, so the name Marshall College was conceived. Marshall himself forgot this until, when the film crew returned to shoot the college scenes for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he began seeing his name everywhere.
In 1957, New Britain was actually the home of the Teachers College of Connecticut (renamed two years later to Central Connecticut State College).
External shots of the Marshall College campus were filmed at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, during July 2007. These were included in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
