The Browne Medals (also known as the Sir William Browne's Medals)[1] are gold medals which since 1774 have been awarded for annual competitions in Latin and Greek poetry at the University of Cambridge.
Sir William Browne having directed his executors to produce a die for annually striking of two medals of gold, of five guineas value each, to be sent to the vice-chancellor of Cambridge about the beginning of January, to be given by him, at the following commencement, to two undergraduates, one for the best GreekOde in imitation of Sappho, the other for the best Latin ode in imitation of Horace, on a subject to be appointed by the Vice-Chancellor; also one other gold medal, of like value, to be given by him to the undergraduate who shall produce the best Greek epigram after the model of Anthologia, and the best Latin epigram after the model of Martial.[2]
The endowment, invested as a trust fund called the Browne Fund, is still used to encourage classical study at the university.[3]
