The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, better known as the University of Vermont or UVM, is a public land-grant research university in Burlington, Vermont, United States, whose legal name still records its 1865 merger with the state agricultural college.佛蒙特大学（University of Vermont and State Agricultural College，常称 UVM）是美国佛蒙特州伯灵顿的一所公立赠地研究型大学，其法定校名仍保留着 1865 年与州立农业学院合并的历史。

Chartered in 1791, the same year Vermont became the fourteenth state, it is the oldest university in Vermont, the fifth-oldest in New England and one of the original eight Public Ivies, and it alone was planned and organised while Vermont still existed as an independent republic.该校于 1791 年获特许，与佛蒙特州加入联邦成为美国第十四个州同年，是佛蒙特州最古老、新英格兰地区第五古老的大学，也是最初的八所「公立常春藤」之一；它还是唯一一所在佛蒙特共和国时期即完成规划与筹建的大学。

History

• The idea for the university grew out of the Vermont Republic, whose legislature authorised Ira Allen, a member of the Green Mountain Boys who had served as a colonel in the Revolutionary War, to raise funds and land for a college in Burlington.办学构想源自佛蒙特共和国时期：该地立法机构授权独立战争时期曾任绿山 Boys 团上校的艾拉·艾伦，在伯灵顿筹措资金与土地兴建学院。
• Allen and his brothers donated a parcel of land on the future campus, which remains the main green today with a statue of Allen standing on it, and he is honoured as UVM's founder because most of the initial funding and planning passed through his hands.艾伦兄弟捐出未来校园所在的一片土地，该地至今仍是校园主绿地，绿地上的艾伦雕像即为纪念；由于早期资金与筹备多由他经手，他被尊为佛蒙特大学的创办人。
• UVM's charter in 1791 was the first in American higher education to state that the rules, regulations and by-laws of the institution should not tend to give preference to any religious sect or denomination whatsoever.1791 年的校特许是美国高等教育史上第一份明确规定「本校的规章与细则不得倾向于偏袒任何宗教派别或教派」的特许状。
• Revenue from the 150,000 acres the state granted the college was sold for 122,626 dollars, and the school admitted its first students only ten years after founding, since Ira Allen had been charting a battle on Lake Champlain when the money was needed.州政府拨予学院的 15 万英亩土地所产生收益被售得 122,626 美元；由于艾伦当时正在尚普兰湖上勘察一处战场，学校在创办十年后才迎来首批学生。
• Rev. Daniel C. Sanders was hired as the first president in 1800 and served as the sole faculty member for seven years, instruction began in 1801 and the first class graduated in 1804.丹尼尔·C·桑德斯牧师于 1800 年受聘为首任校长，并在七年间担任唯一的教职人员，学校 1801 年开始授课，1804 年培养出首届毕业生。
• Burlington citizens helped pay for the college's first building, and after it burned down in 1824 they again paid for its replacement, a structure nicknamed Old Mill for its resemblance to the New England mills of the period, whose cornerstone the Marquis de Lafayette laid while touring Vermont.伯灵顿市民为学校首座建筑出资，该楼 1824 年被焚后市民再度捐款重建，因形似当时新英格兰的磨坊而被称为「Old Mill」，法国革命战争名将拉法耶特侯爵访佛蒙特期间为其奠基。
• The university admitted two women as students in 1871, and in 1875 and 1877 it became the first American university to admit women and African Americans respectively into Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest collegiate honour society in the country.该校于 1871 年招收两名女生入学，并在 1875 年与 1877 年先后成为美国第一所允许女性与非洲裔美国人加入全国最古老的大学学术荣誉学会 Phi Beta Kappa 的大学。
• Justin Smith Morrill, the Vermont congressman who wrote the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act signed into law in 1862, served as a trustee of the university from 1865 until 1898.佛蒙特州众议员贾斯汀·史密斯·莫里尔是 1862 年签署生效的《莫里尔赠地学院法》起草者，他自 1865 年至 1898 年担任该校董事会成员。
• Chartered on 22 November 1864 under the Morrill Act, the Vermont Agricultural College merged with the university in 1865 to form the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, the name whose Latin motto ring notes the founding of the College of Agriculture.佛蒙特农业学院依《莫里尔法》于 1864 年 11 月 22 日获特许，并于 1865 年与大学合并为「佛蒙特大学暨州立农业学院」，校徽拉丁铭文内环正是为纪念农业学院这一机构的设立。
• The university adopted an official seal in 1807 showing the sun rising over the Green Mountains above the original college edifice, together with Euclid's windmill proof of the Pythagorean theorem, a globe and a sextant.该校 1807 年采用正式校徽，图案为绿山上旭日东升于最初的学院建筑之上，并配有欧几里得毕达哥拉斯定理的「风车证明」、一只地球仪与一台六分仪。
• John Pomeroy began teaching medical students in his Burlington house in 1804 as the first medical department at any American state college or university, and in 1822 the College of Medicine was founded by him and the medical educator Nathan Smith as the seventh medical school in the United States.约翰·波默罗伊于 1804 年在伯灵顿自宅开始讲授医学生课程，创办了美国任何州立学院或大学的第一个医学系；1822 年他与医学教育家内森·史密斯创建医学院，成为美国第七所医学院。
• In 1924 the university's station WCAX, later WVMT, broadcast the first radio programme in Vermont from campus, and it was sold in 1931, and a student-run replacement, WRUV, went on the air in 1955 and still broadcasts at 90.1 MHz with a catalogue of over 50,000 albums.该校 1924 年由WCAX（后更名 WVMT）台播出佛蒙特州第一场校园广播，并于 1931 年出售；1955 年由学生主持的 WRUV 电台开播，至今在 90.1 MHz 播出，曲库逾五万张专辑。
• In the second half of the twentieth century the university became known for political activism and the friction it created with its own administration, with the trustees dismissing Alex B. Novikoff, a tenured cell biologist, in 1953 over his Communist Party membership.20 世纪下半叶，该校以政治行动主义闻名，也因此与校方管理层屡生冲突：1953 年，董事会以细胞生物学家亚历克斯·B·诺维科夫为共产党成员为由，解除了这位终身教职教授的教职。
• Student protests in March 1957 against a motel owner who refused service to an African American woman persuaded the Vermont General Assembly to outlaw discrimination in public accommodations, and an annual Kake Walk in which students wore blackface was abolished in 1969 after 73 years.1957 年 3 月，学生抗议一家拒绝接待非裔美国女性的汽车旅馆老板，促使佛蒙特州议会立法禁止公共场所歧视；持续 73 年的「Kake Walk」游街（学生涂黑脸游行的旧俗）则在 1969 年学生与社区压力下被废止。

• Further divestment votes followed, covering Sudan-friendly companies in 2006 during the Darfur genocide and cluster munitions and depleted uranium weapons in 2009, while trustees rejected fossil fuel divestment in 2013 and again in 2016.此后的撤资决议接连通过：2006 年涉「亲苏丹」企业（当时达尔富尔正在发生种族屠杀），2009 年涉及集束弹药与贫铀武器；而董事会在 2013 年与 2016 年两度否决了对化石燃料企业的撤资动议。
• Suresh Garimella became the 27th president on 1 July 2019, during a tenure of record enrolment and a 50 per cent rise in research funding to 250 million dollars, while in 2021 budget cuts closed three departments, 12 majors, 11 minors and four master's programmes in the College of Arts and Sciences.苏雷什·加里梅拉于 2019 年 7 月 1 日出任第 27 任校长，其任内在校生人数创纪录、科研经费增长 50% 至 2.5 亿美元；但 2021 年的预算削减也砍掉了文理学院的三个系、12 个专业、11 个辅修与四个硕士项目。
• The trustees voted unanimously in 2020 to divest from fossil fuels by July 2023, a decision taken under pressure from a student campaign, and in April 2023 the university committed to carbon neutrality by 2030 through renewable energy, electrified buildings and vehicles and geothermal exploration.2020 年在校生运动压力下，董事会一致表决于 2023 年 7 月前完成化石燃料撤资；2023 年 4 月，学校进一步承诺通过可再生能源、建筑与车辆电气化以及地热勘探在 2030 年前实现碳中和。
• A US Department of Education investigation opened in 2022 over the university's response to antisemitism concluded in April 2023 with a voluntary resolution in which the school revised its bias reporting and harassment policies without adopting the complainant's demands, and in March 2024 the graduate students voted to unionise with the United Auto Workers.美国教育部于 2022 年就校方对校园反犹事件的处理启动调查，2023 年 4 月以自愿协议结案，学校修订了偏见举报与骚扰政策，但未采纳申诉方的全部诉求；2024 年 3 月，该校研究生投票决定加入美国汽车工人联合会。
