Wilbur, a wealthy businessman from Manchester, Vermont, who wrote the 1928 biography of Ira Allen, gave the statue to the University. The statue displaced the Lafayette statue which was relocated to the north side of the University Green, thus severing the logical connection between the original placement of the statue of Lafayette and Old Mill."

Young women and men, very likely college students, assembled in front of the Billings Library at UVM. Group type unknown but possibly a choral group or other student club.
Group portrait of class of 1935? All men except for one woman. All are numbered except the woman. Taken outside on steps of John Dewey Hall (College of Medicine sign to the far right).

UVM Commencement gathering (see mcalA18F11i34) in the gymnasium (built 1901), now restored as the Royall Tyler Theatre and Physical Plant building. Mortar boards can be seen on the right side, in the 12-15 rows closest to the rostrum. Date of photo unknown, but hat styles suggest 1920s-1930s.
A large group of men and women (including nuns and one clergyman) assemble on the steps of Billings Library on the University of Vermont campus. This could be a class reunion or perhaps a teachers' conference held at UVM (duplicate of mcalA18F11i08).
8 men in front of the former gymnasium (built 1901), now the Royall Tyler Theatre, which has a restored entrance way but the same arabesque detail on both sides. Athletes seem to be runners. Photo #9.
