On Saturday, June Is, on the cam
pus of the University of Vermont in
Burlington, a statue of Ira Allen
will be unveiled with impressive
ceremony.
The unwilling will take place at
1870 a. m. and the following pro-
gram will be presented: Prayer;
Hymn; Presentation by the donor,
James B Wilbur of Manchester; I'm
yelling of the statue by Miss Sarah
N Allen, granddaughter of Ira Allen,

Boardman and Blanche C Abbott, of
the University of Vermont; Accept
ance of the statue by president Guy
w Bailey; Song, Pupils of the Bur-
lington Schools; Grafton, Hon. OAR
win P Kingsley of New Work City;
Benediction.
Ira Allen was the founder of the
University Of Vermont and more
than any other one man, the found
err of the State of Vermont. Enter
inr Vermont when only twenty-one
years old as a surveyor, he speedily
became prominent in public affairs,
and was active among the Green
mountain DOyS. ne was one OF Jne
active forces in the conventions
which declared the independence of
the State, and framed its constitu-
ton. He devised the system of con-
fiscating the estates of Tories, by
means of which the State was large
ly financed during the Revolutionary
period. He conducted the difficult
and delicate negotiations with Cana
da, whereby the British were de-
ceived, and an army kept idle dur
ing the latter part of the War for
Independence.
Ira Allen was one of the most
active of the Vermont leaders in
securing the admission of this State
to the Union. He was the pioneer
manufacturer in this part of Yer
mont, establishing mills and FORCES
at Winoosh Falls. Before the close
of the eighteenth century, he saw
the possibility of a deep waterway
connecting Lake Champlain with the
st. Lawrence River, and endeavored
to interest the British government
in a canal project.
