TIE CENTENNIAL. or THE UNINER-
SITY OF VERMONT.


10 the New York Evening Post:
Tho University of Vermont has had a
notably vital connection with the history,
ideals, and development of the state of
Vermont. 1t was an integral part of that
lofty conception of free commonwealth
made up of independent and Intelligent
citizens which animated the pioneers of
the state. The founder Of the university
was Cen. Ira Allen, younger brother Of
Ethan Allen. the man who by his doNo-
tion aud diplomacy did AS much perhaps
moro, than any other to create tn" state
of Vermont and to save it from dcst:uc-
ton in the years of its infancy. /, was
Ira Allen who selected and presented /"
the university its beautiful site, and who
started its endowment fund with 4 rift
Of tiOot-cXactly five times the amount
which John Harvard presented to the
university which hears his name. In dc
timing the purpose of the institution which
he founded General Allen laid down the
following broad and patriotic principle:
"Romomhor that our maxim is rather tu
max" good men than great scholars; lot
us hope for the union for that makes
tho man and the useful citiz"n.'
Vermont University was established ir
| the year 1879. ana graduated its first class
Of four members in lS0, For the frs,
quarter of a century of its existence the
| university was little more than a 'mcrc
charter ana a handful of books" but its

Here, in other words. are the recogni-

pioneer days, of tho two great principles
of modern collegiate and university train

OF a social and intellectual fellowship of

and good order, and the recognition of
individual talent and choice in the student
upon which rests the elective system. To
