On December 10th, Nobel Prize Day recognizes the annual award
established by Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel signed his third and last
will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris on November 27, 1895.
When it was opened and read after his death, the will caused a lot
of controversy both in Sweden and internationally, as Nobel had
left much of his wealth to establish a prize. His family opposed
creating the Nobel Prize, and the prize awarders he named refused
to do what he had requested in his will. It was five years before
the first Nobel Prize could be awarded in 1901.
