In the last decades of the 19th century, many chemists had made significant contributions. Thus, with the Chemistry Prize, the Academy "was chiefly faced with merely deciding the order in which these scientists should be awarded the prize".

The Swedish Academy chose the poet Sully Prudhomme for the first Nobel Prize in Literature.
