Bishop's University

Bishop's University (Université Bishop's) is a small Liberal arts college/university in Lennoxville, a borough of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. The founder of the institution was the Bishop of Quebec, George Mountain, who also served as the first principal of McGill University. It is one of three universities in the province of Quebec that teach primarily in English (the others being McGill University and Concordia University, both in Montreal). It began its foundation by absorbing the Lennoxville Classical School as Bishop's College School in the 1840s. The college was formally founded in 1843 and received a royal charter from Queen Victoria in 1853.
