Information

The prize arises from a fund subscribed in 1976 by the ex-students and friends of Victoria University of Wellington to commemorate the work of Professor H A Murray in the Chair of Classics 1946-72.

The prize is awarded annually to the best student enrolled in a 200 or 300 level course in LATI, GREE, or CLAS. It is awarded on the recommendation of the Head of Classics.

The amount of the prize is determined after consideration of income from the fund. If in any year a prize it not awarded, an additional prize may be awarded in a subsequent year, or added to the capital fund. This will be decided by the Development Office.

Recipients will be asked to write a letter of thanks, which will be forwarded appropriately.
