However, heforesaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as theinventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used forawarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally therewere five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum isused for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal,illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays animportant role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, butrelatively few literature prizes.No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some peoplehave won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
