HIGH PRAISE FOR CARVER
RESEARCH LABORATORY
AT TUSKEGEE
TUSKEGEE, Jam 14 (ANP)—
That the Carver Research labora
tory at Tuskegee institute is pro
gressing in the tradition of its origi
nator and first director the late
George W. Carver, is revealed in an
article which appeared in “Shop
talker” house organ of the Parker
Pen company.
Headed by a picture of Dr. C. T.
Mason, associated director and Miss
Gladys Williams, a graduate re
search assistant, the article de
scribes an experiment with ink
which is being made by Miss Wil
liams under Dr. Mason’s direction.
“We gave them a research job initi
ally,” said the article, “more to give
a friendly life to a college for colored
people than with the expectation of
getting any startling results.”
Then the article quotes a com
pany officials who said that “those
people down at Tuskegee are really
showing progress and accomplish
ing things. In fact we are getting
more than our money’s worth out of
them.”
“Contract with the Parker Pen
company,” said Dr. R. W. Brown,
director of the Laboratory, “was
originally made through President
F. D. Patterson and the United Ne
gro College fund. Certain standards
I AND
BEST
based upon research facilities avail
able at the colleges were announced
and Tuskegee institute was selected
for the experiment.”
Bi-monthly progress reports are
submitted and the company has
been so pleased with the progress of
the ink research that, in August,
the monthly fee was doubled.
