I don't think so. If our presidential leadership had continued on the same path as when we were under Dr Walker there is no telling where Murfreesboro & Middle Tennessee would be on a national perspective now.
Whether MT had been located at Shelbyville, Tullahoma, or Murfreesboro the powers that be did not like a man like Dr Walker in charge. To them he was too threatening a factor to their powers, & the universities "they" supported. Whatever mid-state town MT would be located in they knew a "yes" man would have to be in place. And that's what has become of us the last 20 year
