Fund. 
J. B. Wilbur. 
Whereas, under the provisions of an instrument executed by James B. 
Wilbur, there was established a trust fund, known as the University 
of Vermont Trust Fund, composed of the sum of approximately 
$1,500,000, the income from which was to be used, subject to other 
provisions contained therein, to provide scholarships for residents 
of the State of Vermont attending the University of Vermont; and 
Whereas that instrument provides further that in the event that the 
enrollment of the University of Vermont should exceed a number 
determined in conformity with provisions of that instrument, or 
if certain other contingencies should occur, the sum comprising the 
corpus of the fund should be paid to the Library of Congress Trust 
Fund Board; and 
Whereas, by decree issued by the Washington County Chancery Court 
of the State of Vermont, dated September 19, 1932, the limitation 
contained in that instrument with respect to the enrollment of the 
University of Vermont was construed to apply to the College of 
Arts and Sciences of the University of Vermont, rather than to the 
entire enrollment of that University; and 
Whereas the enrollment of the University of Vermont College of Arts 
and Sciences has approached the aforesaid numerical limitation, 
and it has become necessary to refuse admission to qualified appli-
cants for enrollment because of said limitation in order to retain 
the benefits of these scholarships for the residents of the State of 
Vermont; and 
Whereas the national policy, as recited by the National Defense Edu-
cation Act of 1958, recognizes the need for additional and expanded 
educational opportunities, particularly in the sciences; and 
Whereas the aforesaid limitation is in conflict with the stated policy 
of the National Defense Education Act of 1958: Now, therefore, 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That (a) the At-
torney General of the United States is authorized and directed to take 
such action, on behalf of and in the name of the United States and the 
Library of Congress Trust Fund Board, as he may determine to be

necessary to give the consent of the United States and that Board to 
the entry of an appropriate decree for such modification of the terms 
of a supplemental mdenture executed on March 5, 1928, by James B. 
Wilbur, creating a trust fund known as the University of Vermont 
Trust Fund, as may be required to remove therefrom a limitation 
contained therein providing for the payment of the corpus of that 
fund to the Library of Congress Trust Fund Board if the enrollment 
of the University of Vermont should exceed a number determined in 
conformity with the provisions of that instrument. 
(b) The authority so conferred upon the Attorney General includes 
Attorney Gen-
authority to (1) accept service of process, (2) enter an appearance, ^'powers. 
and (3) participate in any proceeding instituted in any court of the 
State of Vermont for the purpose of removing from the instrument 
described in subsection (a) the limitation referred to in that sub-
section. Such authority may be exercised through any legal officer of 
the United States designated by the Attorney General. 
(c) This Act shall not be construed to authorize the Attorney Gen-
eral to give consent to any modification of the supplemental indenture 
described in subsection (a) other than the removal of the limitation 
to which reference is made in that subsection.
