The text on the plaque reads as follows:
Queen's University was the earliest degree-granting liberal arts college established in the united Province of Canada, holding its first classes in March of 1842. Established by the Presbyterian Church, it evolved into a national institution under George Munro Grant, who was principal from 1877 to 1902. By the 20th century Queen's had emerged as one of Canada's major universities with a reputation for scholarship and social purpose. Many of the nation's notable political figures and public servants have been Queen's graduates.
Le texte sur la plaque se lit comme suit:
Ouverte en mars 1842, l'université Queen's fut le premier collège d'arts libéraux à décerner des grades dans la Province unie du Canada. Fondée par l'Église presbytérienne, elle acquit une envergure nationale sous la direction de George Munro Grant, entre 1877 et 1902. Dès le début du XXe siècle, elle s'imposait comme l'une des grandes universités du Canada par la qualité de son enseignement et par le caractère social de son orientation. Nombre de personnalités politiques et de grands commis de l'État en sont issus.
