FOUNDED 1791 • BURLINGTON, VERMONT Bulletin of THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT THE CATALOGUE • 1961-1962 ANNOUNCEMENTS • 1 96 2 - 1 96 5 DEDICATION During the 1961-62 academic year, 70 members of the American Association of Land Grant Colleges and State Uni­ versities are commemorating the centen­ nial of the Morrill Act. Signed by Presi­ dent Lincoln on July 2, 1862, this Federal Law established a nationwide system of colleges and universities dedi­ cated to providing opportunities for liberal and practical higher education for all qualified residents of the United States. Founded more than 70 years before the passage of the Land Grant Act, the Uni­ versity of Vermont became the Land Grant institution of Vermont in 1865 when the Vermont Legislature estab­ lished the Vermont Agricultural College and joined it with the parent University at Burlington. It is to Senator Justin Smith Morrill, a native of Strafford, Vermont, himself denied an opportunity for college edu­ cation, whose visionary image of a sys­ tem of colleges to provide education op­ portunities for all who qualified, virtu­ ally revolutionized higher education, that this catalogue is dedicated.

The city has daily plane and bus service to these points.
