iv. education and mental cultulle.
For every Swedish prize-group the authorities responsible for distributing the
prizes nominate a so-called Nobel Committee, consisting of three to five persons,
who are to give their opinion anent the bestowal of the prize. The
corresponding deliberations upon the bestowal of the peace prize shall be undertaken by
the Nobel Committee appointed by the Storthing. To be chosen member of a
Swedish Nobel Committee, it is not necessary to be a Swedish subject or to be
a member of the body awording the prize. In the Norwegian Committee others
than Norwegians may also be members. — Where it is deemed necessary for
special reasons, the distributors may appoint an expert to take part as a
member in the Committee’s deliberations and decisions.
Alfred Nobel.
To assist in the necessary investigations and otherwise to advance the objects
of the foundation, the authorities who have to award the prizes may establish
scientific institutions and other organizations, which shall be called Nobel
Institutes. Foreigners, male or female, may be appointed at these Institutes.
Should the distributors of the prizes consider it advisable, the Nobel Institutes
shall all belong to connected spheres of Knowledge and be similarly organized.
Up to now there have been founded a Nobel Institute of the Swedish Academy
with a library attached, 1901; one of the Academy of Sciences for Physical
Chemistry 1909, and one Norwegian Nobel Institute 1903.
