Monthly JULY 2016 Alfred Nobel and his will. The Very First Nobel Prizes Prizes for "the Greatest Benefit to Mankind" Alfred Nobel's interest in science, culture and society is evident in his will. In the third and last will that he signed in Paris on 27 November 1895, he declared that the major portion of his fortune should go toward prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. Not everybody was pleased with this - it took four years for the executors to convince all parties to follow Alfred Nobel's wishes. On 10 December 1901 the first Nobel Prizes were awarded.
