Boulder Society History   The UVM Boulder
The Boulder Society was formed in 1905 by a group of senior men in order to connect the student body to the administration. These men worked to bring the needs of the student body to the attention of the administration. Members had weekly meetings with the president of the University and were distinguished by the green jackets that they wore around campus.

The Boulder men founded the Student Government Association in the interest of creating a closer tie between the administration and the student body.

Boulder Plaque

" Discovered in 1847, this naturally formed boulder was brought to UVM and came to epitomize the mission of the University ... to transform the unversed into the well-rounded.

The UVM Boulder Society, established in 1905, is the oldest senior men's honor society in the country and strives to uphold the mission of the University.

This plaque is a gift from the UVM Boulder Class of 1992.
