任教於塔斯提吉學院

在卡佛剛到塔斯提吉學院時,農業系只有幾個學生,資源不足、也沒有實驗室。卡佛和學生們自己建立起實驗室,找來舊的瓶罐、鍋子等等,蒐集金屬、繩子、塑膠等等材料,卡佛指導學生們如何將這些廢棄物製作成實驗室中所需的設備。

運用這些設備,大家開始在卡佛的舊桌子上進行實驗,他們測試土壤、肥料、動物的食物,卡佛告訴學生們自然界中各種東西的關連性。多年之後,卡佛才終於擁有真正的實驗室和真正的實驗設備。

When Carver arrived at Tuskegee, the agriculture department had few students, few resources, and no laboratory. The resourceful Carver knew what to do. He and his students created a laboratory. They gathered old jars, china, pots, and pans. They collected metal, string, and rubber from the trash. Carver showed his students how to turn these discarded items into laboratory equipment.

Using this equipment, they conducted experiments on Carver's old desk. They tested soil, fertilizers, and animal food. Carver taught his students to see how everything in nature was interrelated. Many years later, Carver finally got a real laboratory with real equipment.
