Arthur M. Sackler, M.D.
1 91 3-1 987
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Arthur M. Sackler was edu-
cated in the arts, sciences, and humanities at New York
University. These interests remained the focus of his life, as he
became widely known as a scientist, art collector, and philan-
thropist, endowing institutions of learning and culture through-
out the world.
He felt that his fundamental role was as a doctor, a vocation
he decided upon at the age of four. After completing his
internship and service as house physician at Lincoln Hospital in
New York City, he became a resident in psychiatry at Creed-
moor State Hospital. There, in the 1940s, he started research
that resulted in more than 150 papers in neuroendocrinology,
psychiatry, and experimental medicine. He considered his
scientific research in the metabolic basis of schizophrenia his
most significant contribution to science and served as editor of the Journal of Clinical and
Experimental Psychobiology from 1950 to 1962. In 1960 he started publication of Medical Tribune,
a weekly medical newspaper that reached over one million readers in 20 countries. He
established the Laboratories for Therapeutic Research in 1938, a facility in New York for basic
research that he directed until 1983.
As a generous benefactor to the causes of medicine and basic science, Arthur Sackler built
and contributed to a wide range of scientific institutions: the Sackler School of Medicine
established in 1972 at Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel; the Sackler Institute of Graduate
Biomedical Science at New York University, founded in 1980; the Arthur M. Sackler Science
Center dedicated in 1985 at Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts; and the Sackler School
of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, established in 1980, and the Arthur M. Sackler Center for
Health Communications, established in 1986, both at Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts.
His pre-eminence in the art world is already legendary. According to his wife Jillian, one of
his favorite relaxations was to visit museums and art galleries and pick out great pieces others
had overlooked. His interest in art is reflected in his philanthropy; he endowed galleries at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and Princeton University, a museum at Harvard University, and
the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of Asian Art in Washington, DC. True to his oft-stated
determination to create bridges between peoples, he offered to build a teaching museum in
China, which Jillian made possible after his death, and in 1993 opened the Arthur M. Sackler
Museum of Art and Archaeology at Peking University in Beijing.
In a world that often sees science and art as two separate cultures, Arthur Sackler saw them
as inextricably related. In a speech given at the State University of New York at Stony Brook,
Some reflections on the arts, sciences and humanities, a year before his death, he observed:
"Communication is, for me, theprimum movens of all culture. In the arts. . . I find the emotional
component most moving. In science, it is the intellectual content. Both are deeply interlinked
in the humanities." The Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia at the National Academy of Sciences pay
tribute to this faith in communication as the prime mover of knowledge and culture.
