This prize arises from a fund subscribed in 1946 by the ex-students and friends of Victoria University of Wellington to commemorate the work of Professor Sir J Rankine Brown in the Chair of Classics 1899-1945.

The prize is awarded annually to the best student enrolled in LATI104 or GREE113 (LATI214 in the case of a student entering 200 level Latin directly).
