COLLEGE CENTENNIAL.
UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT TO
CELEBRATE IN 1904.
FOUNDING OF THE INSTITUTION AND
ITS EARLY STRUGGLES-SOME
STUDENT FRANKS.

Burlington Vt. Nov % (SpeciaD.-The next
American university to celebrate its centennial
Is the University Of Vermont, the pride of the
Green Mountain State. and especially Of the
city Of Burlington. The university was founded
by the legislature Of the State in 1901 but
considerab bic time passed before instruction be-
gan, and the first class was graduated in 1904
The class OF OF the members of which now
rank az juniors is the centennial class, and
the celebration viii be held in connection with
their commencement
Although the Vermont centennial is still more
than a year ahead, President NJ. H Buckham
and the members Of the faculty are laying plans
TO make 1t the greatest day the university has
ever known. Graduates from every part Of the
country have signified their intention of return
ing for the exercises. which. with the commence
ment, will cover the best part OF week It is
likely that an effort will be made at that time
10 secure funds which are needed for addi-
fional buildings.
The early history Of this old university reads
almost like a romance. Interstate plots, the
loss of the fortune of its founder, sudden fires
and the insanity of early president are some
of the striking features. Professor ]. Z. Good
rich an early graduate. and one Of the Oldest
professors in the faculty, has lately worked out
this early history. Investigation and research
brought forth many details that had been previ-
ousIy overlooked or forgotten.
The history begins with the original constitu-
ton Of the State which bears the date of l''f-

State ought TO be established by direction OF
The General Assembly" All reference to college

John Wheelock saw chance to secure con-
siderable support for his college from the state
Of Vermont if he could persuade the Assembly
that Dartmouth would supply the needs OF the

them. and in q fiowery speech Won over 1alr
majority. The result was that an entire town

the rising New Hampshire institution, its stu

is believed to be the only case in the United
States where any State as such has contributed
directly TO the educational interests Of another
State.

ock thought to go further "Give me all the
missionary and glebe rights in the New-Hamp-
shire grants and all college rights in the Yer
mont grants and we will educate at Hanover
or at branch college TO be located In Yer
mont all students from the State without tut
ton" The Vermonters were in favor of this at
first. but before action taken they saw
that the arrangement would detract from their
complete independence.
1t was in 1888 that the foundation of the uni
versity was assured by the gift of $4,000 by
General Ira Allen. of Colchester. The university
was chartered on November 3, 1871 and located
at Burlington General Allen anxious that
the university should bear his name, and he
was willing TO pay much more for the honor
than had those after whom some of the older
colleges were named.
John Harvard gave the Cambridge institution
a small library and $500 in money. Only two
years before Williams College had been named
for a man who had left it 200 acres of land and
a small property. General Allen offered 20 give
in addition to his first gift 1.500 acres of land.
In 1875 he made another offer of f2,00O, half in
land and half in books and apparatus. Both
offers were rejected by the Assembly, though
he was made a director in the original charter.
In Vermont to-day he is looked upon as the
founder of the university, and it stands nearly
as great a memorial to his memory as though
It bore his name instead Of that of the State
The first president Daniel c. Saunders,
Harvard graduate, was a typical college pro-
lessor of his time. Without the assistance of
tutor even. he began instruction in 1900. At the
time the first class graduated four yea
later be had only one assistant. His salary
$500 a year was increased by stipend of $500.

was proposed to close the college at the end
of the autumn term. 1t practically settled
that instruction should end, when the Literary

denounced this distribution act OF trea-

out various methods by which the threatened
collapse could be averted and the college again

and again Vermont faced the future.

Again Professor Porter came to the rescue
Aided by a few graduates. the students, and
the people OF Burlington. funds for the ne"
buildings were secured. North College was put
up at once, and in June. 1925, General Lafayette
laid the cornerstone of South College. The
buildings have since been connected. and the
combined whole is known THE MILL because
under its roof the youth of Vermont are ground
into men. A statue of Lafayette by ]. O. A.
Ward was presented to the university in 1888
by John H. Howard, of New-York, and stands
in front of the building.
The university has gone ahead steadily In the
last seventy-ive years. adding various scien-
tifc and professional departments to the original
classical course. Large and comfortable dormi-
tories for both men and women students have
been erected. The enrolment is now between
five hundred and six hundred. A new gym
nGsium, one Of the most complete in the coun-
try, has recently been erected. at a cost OF
$4,000 most Of which was furnished by the
alumni Last summer a forge shop and
foundry were erected and equipped with most
improved machinery.
Student life at Vermont University is typical
Of the smaller college, where men not only
know every member Of their own class. but
most OF the other students as we'll. There is a
personal element in the life which is lacking at
the larger universities This is added to by the
fact that most OF the students live in dormi-
tories As Is usual in co-educational institu-
tions there is much opposition to the presence
of women on the part of the men students. AT

 "Well, old man Joe Skinner used to live thar, and a meaner man never walked Gods ground. He was so mean to his wife they say she was glad to die and get rid of him; but she left darter behind, and if ever I was sorry for anybody it was for that 'ar Truthy Skinner. And pret- ty! There wasn't any likelier gal in all these mountains. As old as 1 is, used to plum love to look at her, but alters looked out the corner of my eye when my old woman was around. for she is powerful cantanker- ous and perticlar. But 1rnthy was one of them proud-l9oking cieeters. She hilt her head just as high and walked just like high-stepping horse. And as mean as her daddy was to her it never made her stop her proud ways. She cooked and washed and scrubbed for him; but she was high-headed all the time. She stuck to him. too.

He had a real good farm up on the river, and had built him a nice little cabin, lookin' to the time when Truthy would marry him. But she said she didn't believe it was right to leave her dad, no matter how bad he treat ed her. Somebody had to do for him.
