Browne Medal

Gold medals awarded annually since 1774 for Latin and Greek poetry at Cambridge University

Summary

Gold medals awarded annually since 1774 for Latin and Greek poetry at Cambridge University

The Browne Medals (also known as the Sir William Browne's Medals) are gold medals which since 1774 have been awarded for annual undergraduate competitions in Latin and Greek poetry at the University of Cambridge.

Sir William Browne, who had been president of the College of Physicians, died in 1774. His will left an endowment to the university:

The endowment, invested as a trust fund called the Browne Fund, is still used to encourage classical study at the university.
