Queens College Melbourne Opened in 1 Year (of course!!) in 1888 for 13 Students.

Nice build ye old convicts and gold miners - you've out done yourself. #Historyisalie!

The origins of Queen’s College go back to the 19th century. It was founded on the piece of land granted by the Victorian Government to the Methodist Church by the Reverend William Quick on June 16th, 1887 (Founder’s Day) and named Queen’s in response to the Jubilee of Queen Victoria’s reign of that year. The College opened its doors to 18 students on 4 March 1888. The motto of the College is the Latin phrase aedificamus in aeternum, which means “We are building for eternity”.

Our first Master was the remarkable English clergyman, Dr Edward H. Sugden, who remained in office for forty years (1888-1928). By the end of his Mastership, Queen’s had grown to become the College that is still recognisable today.

Queen’s is now a College of the Uniting Church and is affiliated by statute with the University of Melbourne. Traditionally, Queen’s was a male-only residential College. In 1973 it became co-educational and now has men and women in about equal numbers.
