HE University of Vermont is one of the oldest institutions of learning in :QQ S' the United States, the charter having been granted in 1 791. This was I 1 due to the untiring efforts of General lra Allen, who is known as the s ' . . 'Qi,kf5s,w founder of the University. In 1804 midst humble surroundings, with a faculty of one man, Dr. Sanders, and with a Student body of four, the College was for- mally opened. The original college building erected in 1801 was 'destroyed by fire in 1824. It was rebuilt in 1829, General Lafayette laying the corner stone of what was then known as South College. From this time up to 1871 the growth was slow. In this year Matthew l-l. Buclcham was elected to the headship of the University, the enrollment being about seventy. During the first ten years of Pres- ident Bucl4ham's administration the progress was steady but not rapid, consisting mainly in strengthening the courses of instruction. ln 1881 John P. Howard, besides endowing the chair of Natural History with S50,000, provided means for remodelling the main building, and presented the Medical College Building, the statue of Lafayette and the fountain in the park. This started the building era, which has continued down to the present day, until now about forty buildings are owned by the University. A
