	University of Vermont 2016 University Academic Rankings
The University of Vermont (UVM), officially the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, is a public research university and, since 1862, the state of Vermont's sole land-grant university. The University of Vermont is one of the original Public Ivies, a publicly funded university considered as providing a quality of education comparable to those of the Ivy League. Founded in 1791, UVM is among the oldest universities in the United States and the fifth institution of higher education established in New England after Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, and Brown. The university is incorporated in Burlington, the most populous municipality in the state of Vermont. The campus' Dudley H. Davis Center was the first student center in the country to receive a US Green Building Council LEED Gold certification. The largest hospital complex in the state, the UVM Medical Center, has its primary facility on the UVM campus and is affiliated with the UVM College of Medicine. History The University of Vermont was founded as a private university in 1791, the same year Vermont became the 14th state in the union. In 1865, the university merged with Vermont Agricultural College (chartered November 22, 1864, after the passage of the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act), emerging as the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College. The University of Vermont draws 6.8% of its annual budget of about $600 million from the state, and Vermont residents make up 35 percent of enrollment; 65 percent of students come from other states and countries. Much of the initial funding and planning for the university was undertaken by Ira Allen, who is honored as UVM's founder. Allen donated a 50-acre (20 ha) parcel of land for the University's establishment. Most of this land has been maintained as the university's main green, upon which stands a statue of Allen. The Billings Memorial Library was built in 1883 and was the university's library until 1961 when the larger Guy W. Bailey library was built. Since then, it has served miscellaneous purposes. The citizens of Burlington helped fund the university's first edifice, and, when it was destroyed by fire in 1824, also paid for its replacement. This building came to be known as "Old Mill" for its resemblance to New England mills of the time. The Marquis de Lafayette, a French general who became a commander in the American Revolution, toured all 24 U.S. states in 1824-1825 and while in Vermont laid the cornerstone of Old Mill, which stands on University Row, along with Ira Allen Chapel, Billings Library, Williams Hall, Royall Tyler Theatre and Morrill Hall. A statue of Lafayette stands at the north end of the main green. The University of Vermont was the first American college or university with a charter declaring that the "rules, regulations, and by-laws shall not tend to give preference to any religious sect or denomination whatsoever." In 1871, UVM defied custom and admitted two women as students. Four years later, it was the first American university to admit women to full membership into the Phi Beta Kappa Society, the country's oldest collegiate academic honor society. Likewise, in 1877, it initiated the first African American into the society. Named for U.S. Senator Justin Smith Morrill, Morrill Hall was constructed in 1906-07 to serve as the home of the UVM Agriculture Department and the Agricultural Experiment Station Justin Smith Morrill, a Representative (1855-1867) and Senator (1867-1898) from Vermont, author of the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act that created federal funding for establishing the U.S. Land-Grant colleges and universities, served as a trustee of the university from 1865 to 1898. In 1924, the first radio broadcast in Vermont occurred from the college station, WCAX, run by students then, n ... [more on wikipedia]
