"The work of this institution has only begun I want to see this
faculty continue to develop in not only teaching ability, but heart
power—the ability to lead and inspire I want to see the fullest
opportunities furnished to students I want to see young men and
women who will become effective leaders I want to see all of these
things and more" face=Calibri>– Dr. John W. Carr, First
President of Murray State University, April 1, 1926 When Murray
State University was founded shortly after World War I, it was a
modest, one-building teachers' college with a mandate to prepare
better-trained educators for schools in the Jackson Purchase area
of Western Kentucky. Now Murray State has grown to become a major
university with nearly (or approximately) 10,000 students from all
over the world. Over the past century, this institution has
indelibly shaped the lives of generations of talented young people
who went on to enjoy remarkable careers at NASA, the Kentucky
Supreme Court, in Hollywood, the NBA, and elsewhere. In The Finest
Place We Know, authors Robert L Jackson, Sarah Marie Owens, and
Sean J. McLaughlin celebrate the 100-year story of Murray State
University by looking back on the people, places, and events which
have shaped the institution's history. This comprehensive,
pictorial history features hundreds of images from the Progue
Special Collections Library and is accompanied by stories that
explore everything from the school's first student-produced weekly
newspaper The College News that began publication on June 24, 1927,
the hiring of Ernest T. Brooks, its first Black professor, in 1970,
and the appointment of Dr. Kala Stroup, the first woman president
of any Kentucky university. This work face=Calibri>– equal
parts history and celebration – presents an in depth account of
one of Kentucky's prosperous public universities.
