Renamed in honor of Paul E. Raether ’68 on the occasion of his 50th Reunion in 2018, this award is given each year by the Trinity College Alumni Association to a member of the alumni body who has, preferably recently, distinguished him/herself in either his/her line of endeavor or beyond the call of normal pursuits. As an award given by the Alumni Association to one of its own members, it is considered to be of a singular purpose, and intended to be clearly distinct from the Eigenbrodt Trophy and the ​​Alumni Medal for Excellence.
