    Alfred Nobels Will Translated from

    Scandinavian
    "The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way: the
    capital, invested in safe securities by my executors, shall constitute a fund, the interest on which
    shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall
    have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind. The said interest shall be divided into five equal
    parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: one part to the person who shall have made the
    most important discovery or invention within the field of physics; one part to the person who
    shall have made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person
    who shall have made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine;
    one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding
    work in an ideal direction; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best
    work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the
    holding and promotion of peace congresses. The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be
    awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiology or medical works by the
    Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm, and that for
    champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting. It is
    my express wish that in awarding the prizes no consideration be given to the nationality of the
    candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be Scandinavian or not.
