College Grace
It is customary to open each formal dinner (held every Monday through Wednesday) at Queen's with a Grace. The college's full Latin grace is as follows:
- Domine, qui aperis manum tuam et omnia implentur bonitate,
- Benedicere dignare cibum istum
- Ut nos, ex eo gustantes,
- Inde corporis et animi accipiamus sanitatem.
- Per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum, Amen.
An English translation is:
- Lord, you open your generous hand
- And the whole world is filled with good things.
- Please bless this food we are about to eat,
- So that we may have healthy bodies and healthy minds,
- Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
An English grace was composed by Master Henley in 1995, with the proviso that the Latin grace be retained at least once per week.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or grace:
“Face your own ambivalence about letting go and you will be better able to help you children cope with their own feelings. The insight you gain through your own acceptance of change will bolster your confidence and make you a stronger college parent. The confidence you develop will be evident to your child, who will be able to move away from you without fear.”
—Norman Goddam (20th century)
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 4:4-7.
