In the exact geographic center of Tennessee there stands a city whose history dates from earlier than the Civil War (came on strong in 1811, in fact). iMurfreesboro, as the town is called, boasts all the earmarks of a budding young city with tremendous growth potential. It sports good highways, two large shopping centers, a daily newspaper, and many other signs of sophistication. Murfreesboro is, by no means a sleepy Southern town. However, it does retain two little acres in its heartland where the way of life IS still unhurried, casual, and even sometimes happy. We refer, of course, to the courthouse yard where the town ' s senior citizens (some more than senior), younger ones in flight from work, transients resting from the high road, and Saturday preachers sunning themselves during the more pleasant days and hibernating in the caverns of the forum place during the winter blast. The Johnny Reb atop the Confederate monument presides over the town in activity below and, meanwhile, is poised to the North to repel invasion. Beyond the confines the town goes about its business to the accompaniment of piped-in music and the whistle of the tall gendarme. Beyond these two acres in the heartland, industry blossoms, cash registers ring, and the town Hmits move outwardly, not unlike bright ink on a blotter. But (hold on) there is an even more colorful symbol of pride to which Rutherford Countians point with obvious pleasure. Middle Tennessee State University stands conspicuously new in the same historic part of town that houses Oaklands, Murfreesboro ' s most famous historic site. To this smaller city come annually thousands of eager minds (what are we saying! ) to be tutored in the essentials of knowledge, drilled in the disciplines of academics, and lost in the morass of university life. (How ' s this? ) These thousands of students are looked on by the city fathers with a mixture of awe, disbelief, and thankfulness. There is the belief that the larger community and the collegiate community complement each other and grow together— with understanding and evolving trust. Therefore, the students continue their lemming-like march to the campus semester after semester, in the pursuit of an education with just a little fun on the side. These, then, are the Raiders and Raiderettes of today and elder and mellow Raiders and Raiderettes of tomorrow.
