The Rollo Davidson trustees give notice of the award of the 2018 Thomas Bond Sprague Prize for the Master of Mathematics/Master of Advanced Studies in Mathematics examinations, jointly to B B He of Queens' College, Cambridge for distinguished performance in the areas of optimisation and statistics and M Lehmkuehler of Girton College, Cambridge for distinguished performance in the area of probability.

The prize commemorates Thomas Bond Sprague (1830-1920), the only person to have been president of both the Institute of Actuaries in London and the Faculty of Actuaries in Edinburgh. Sprague was Senior Wrangler and Smith's Prizewinner at the University of Cambridge in 1853. He had a most distinguished career in the actuarial profession, becoming actuary to the Equity and Law life insurance company, and chief executive of the Scottish Equitable Life Assurance Society.

The Prize is awarded annually for distinguished performance in the Master of Mathematics/ Master of Advanced Studies in Mathematics examinations of the University of Cambridge in the subjects of actuarial science, finance, insurance, mathematics of operational research, probability, risk and statistics.
