University Lake School

University Lake School is an independent school in Delafield, in the Lake Country area of Waukesha County in Wisconsin. ULS opened in 1956 on the 1840 Vettelson Farm near the eastern shore of Nagawicka Lake. Anne Vettelson deeded the land to the School on two conditions: that she be allowed to live the remainder of her life on the land and that students chop her fire wood each winter. University Lake School proudly sits on 180 acres of pristine woodland forest boasting a variety of managed ecological niches including restored prairie, crop and vegetable production, hardwood old-growth forest, and oak savannah. ULS is home to deer, turkeys, cranes, a blue heron rookery, domesticated chickens, managed bee hives, sheep, and a herd of goats.

History
Founding families initially summered in Lake Country from Milwaukee. After World War II they decided to become "year-rounders" and to establish a school adequate to their aims: excellent academics, small classes, preparation for the best colleges, and proximity to nature. The first board president was John M. Friend and the first Headmaster was Joseph de Peyster. ULS was initially founded out of concern with the quality of an overcrowded public school. Questionnaires were sent out to select families, from business leaders to small farmers; 72 families were interested, which would enroll 178 students. Other founding officers were: Robert C. Brumder, vice-president, Robert L. Manegold, secretary. == Notable donations ==
