Report of the Jury (April 27, 1936)
Considérant que Monsieur Franz
CUMONT s'est distingué, d'entre les savants de notre époque, par
l'étendue de son savoir, la sûreté souvent géniale de ses intuitions,
l'originalité de ses découvertes, où la chance heureuse n'eut qu'une
part restreinte, la clarté et l'élégance de son style,
considérant qu'il a récemment
encore apporté à la science des contributions importantes qui ont
augmenté le prestige international de la Belgique,
décide de conférer le Prix Francqui
1936 à Monsieur le Professeur Franz CUMONT.
