The Harvard Prize Book Award was established by Harvard Alumni in 1910 as part of an effort to identify talented
young students and to attract their attention to the unique educational opportunities at Harvard.

In the Program’s first years, the Harvard Prize Book was awarded at only a handful of schools in the New England
area.  Today, the Harvard Prize Book Award is presented in more than 1,900 schools around the world.
