The Alexander Leeper Prize was established in memory of Alexander Leeper, who was the first president of the Classical Association of Victoria when it was founded in 1912 and who also became (back in 1876) the first Warden of Trinity College at the University of Melbourne. The Leeper Prize is awarded annually to the highest-achieving undergraduate honours students in the state of Victoria who completed their honours degree in Classics (or Classical Studies or Ancient World Studies) in the previous calendar year. It is a condition of the award that the student either studied Latin or Ancient Greek at intermediate or advanced level during their honours year or wrote a thesis that engaged with Latin and Greek textual evidence..
