History
- Queen's grew out of educational initiatives planned by Presbyterians in the 1830s, and a draft plan for the college was presented at a synod meeting in Kingston in 1839, followed by a modified bill introduced through the 13th Parliament of Upper Canada in 1840.女王大学源于 1830 年代长老会人士筹划的教育计划,1839 年在金斯顿的教会会议上提出建校草案,1840 年经修改的建校法案由上加拿大第 13 届议会提出。

- The first classes were held on 7 March 1842 in a small wood-frame house on the edge of the city with two professors and 15 students, and the college moved several times during its first eleven years before settling in its present location.1842 年 3 月 7 日,学校在城郊一座小型木构房屋中开课,仅有教授两人、学生 15 人;建校头十一年间数次迁址,最终定于现址。
