continue helping young people to
prepare themselves for living. In
natural sciences, one finds the de¬

Dr. Carver’s Achievements
Praised Scientist
The researh achievements of
the late D>\ George Washington
Carver were praised recently by
M. R. Clarkson, associate admini¬
strator of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture’s research service.
Speaking before farmers and
j at Xuske(ree>s (;9th An .
^ Farmerg Conferen( , e Dr
I i Clarkson said, “Dr. Booker r , , T. „
, Washington recruited more
, hands , when , , he encouraged ^ , T Dr. ,
I Carver to come to Tuskegee. He
I recruited brains that could see the
and will to help develop them ZL**l
. .
I Describing c the , vast , changes . in
| agriculture which have taken place
1
in the South, the research official
attributed much of the progress
to Dr. Carver.
“When the boll vveevil struck
Alabama’s cotton ■ • •-» 40
crop years
ago, “he continued, “Dr. Carver
told farmers to plant othef ’crops
— sweet potatoes and' peanuts,
After suffering heavy, losses from
the boll weevil, growers began to
take his advice. The South now
shows a great diversity in its ag-
t riculture h'
After relating how research
contributed to increased agricul-
turn! efficiency - higher crop
yields, larger pig crops, increased'
milk production, better breeds of
j j readying livestock of and poultry, and more
quality livestock for
market, Dr. Clarkson turned to
r®search in food chemistry and
I the work of Dr. Carver in this
jjgjj
"Dr. Carver,” he said, “is per
haps best known for his develop¬
ment of new food products and
industrial items from agricultural
raw materials. He developed 300
products from peanuts, including
milk and cheese. He made plastics
paper, and insulating board from
peanuts shells. He developed a
flour and more than 100 othei
j items from the sweet potato. Hi
worked on the chemistry of the
| cotton fiber, and made paving
j blocks, cordage, paper and rope fi-
; bers.”

United Negro College Fund-
type colleges were called
of democracy" in a
whieh is not friendly to the
eept of enuality across racial lines
at the Third Annual Public
lations Institute held at Johnson
C. Smith University recently.
Dr F. D. Patterson, president of
the Phclps-Stokes Fund, founder
of the United Negro College Fund
and former president of Tuskpgee
Institute said that our colleges
have been islands of democracy.
“Rather than perpetuating seg-
rogation." He stated.^Ihese col-
leges have been the instrumentali-
M®« of bringing together neonle
diverse backgrounds and inter-
ests and racial identities" to
out “their common problems and
effective solutions in the area
human relations."
fuit
tbat “We do not ms-J vft to apologize
r or the existence of these fjpst ilu-
( ions, but we have ample material
to equip our alumni and our pre¬
sent students with a positive jus¬
tification so that they can walk
out wi,h their he » d * hi ^ h uml in -
teliigently discuss the role
these institutions in such n way
as to have the American people
understand and better support
these colleges.”
In the wake of the 1954 Su¬
preme Court decision Dr. Patter¬
son observed that “Most of us did
not understand or appreciate the
lengths to which the South would
go in the process of evasion, so
that we eventually come out with
a result which is everywhere de-
scribed as “token integration”
which linuous presages struggle, a long that and if eon- for j |
so
no other reason than a time fac-
tor, we need ■ these .■ institutions ... for -
MM, period.”
In support of our colleges, Dr.
Patterson said “These are insti-
tutions ' vhic!l wil! help us*to go
through that transition, and will
give frank recognition to the fact
that education is a social as well
as academic experience, and that
for many youth of the Negro
group, if they are to have a nor¬
mal social experience, they will
naturally want to come to these
institutions, provided these insti¬
tutions are of sound quality.

Consultant for Educational De-1
velopment, Board of Christian I I

that “The Job to be done in con-1

should be done while they are yet I
on the campus.”
