The University of Vermont (or UVM) is a Vermont public university chartered in 1791.[2] The school was initially private, but changed after the Morrill Land-Grant College Act in 1862 and the addition of the State Agricultural College. It ranked #96 in US News's 2008 "National Universities: Top Schools" list.[3]

History[edit]

Ira Allen, who is considered to be UVM's founder, undertook much of the funding and initial planning. The university's first building was destroyed by fire in 1824; Marquis de Lafayette designed its replacement, the Old Mill building.[2]
