The President, Fellows, and students of Queens’ College have, throughout our history since 1448, been deeply appreciative of the benefaction which founded the College and has sustained it since. In the 21st century, we are more than ever conscious of the continuing benefaction from Queens’ members and friends that maintains the College in excellence now, and will take it into the future.
