It was in this day in 1917 that the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded. Joseph Pulitzer was a newspaper publisher who left a bequest to Columbia University in NYC upon his death in 1911. The university used some of the money to found their school of journalism, but his will also called for a board to be established that would award prizes for excellence in writing. The first winners were Laura Richards, Maude Elliott, and Florence Hall for a biography called Julia Ward Howe; Jean Jules Jusserand won the prize for history for the book With Americans of Past and Present Days; and Herbert Swope was awarded the prize for journalism.
