During his studies at Iowa Agricultural College - what is now Iowa State University, George Washington Carver was active in a wide array of student activities. He was a member of the Art Club, the German Club, and the Welch Eclectic Society to name a few.
George especially enjoyed military drill, a bi-weekly requirement for all male students during their freshman and sophomore years. After Carver completed his obligatory two-year service, he continued the activity and ultimately reached the rank of Quartermaster during his senior year. This photo shows George participating in military drill circa 1893. Carver is in the first row, fourth from the left.
