The Pasteur Medal was instituted in 1898 by Baron de Coubertin, to be awarded to the successful contestant in an annual debate on a subject chosen from contemporary French politics, the debate to be conducted in English. The administration of the prize is in the hands of the French Department, and one of the judges is always its official representative.
