The Chauvenet Prize was the first award established by the Mathematical Association of America. The prize is named in honor of William Chauvenet and was established through a gift from J. L. Coolidge in 1925. A gift from MAA president Walter B. Ford in 1928 allowed the award to be given every three years instead of the originally planned 5 years.
