§ 1-6. Experimental farm
The Trustees may, in their discretion, obtain by gift, grant, or otherwise, a tract of land which, together with the land now owned by the University of Vermont, shall amount to at least 100 acres, to be used as an experimental farm, whereon they may make any desirable experiments in the breeding of stock, field culture, the analysis and adaptation of soils and horticultural and botanical gardening, or either of them, as they may deem proper, and also for the purpose of military encampment, target firing, drill and review; and the trustees may use, lease, or dispose of the same, as they may think proper, so as best to promote the objects of the institutions.
And in case the land shall be procured, as aforesaid, a sum not to exceed one-tenth of the money which has been received by the State Treasurer for the sale of land scrip, in pursuance of the act of Congress authorizing the same, shall be paid to the Board of Trustees for the purposes aforesaid; provided, that no agricultural labor shall be required of students, except by their voluntary agreement or consent.
