grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, in the 1940s-50s when the show was popular, and attended Furman University as they were starting work on their new central campus that's still used today. At the time, it had a varying collection of various heritage sports team names from its history and they wanted to unite them all under one new name. My husband was of the Class of 1962, the first class on the new campus, and a student poll was taken to decide the name. "Have Gun, Will Travel" was a popular TV show at the time, and so that's why all of Furman's sports teams are named the Paladins today.
