Английская Википедия:Howland Memorial Prize
The Henry Howland Memorial Prize[1] at Yale was created in 1915 for a "citizen of any country in recognition of some achievement of marked distinction in the field of literature or fine arts or the science of government."[2] The idealistic quality of the recipient's work is an important factor in his selection.
The award was established in honor of Henry Elias Howland (1835–1913), a member of the Yale class of 1854, by a donation of $15,000 by his children Charles P. Howland (Yale 1891), Dr. John Howland (Yale 1894), and Frances Howland.[3]
