History notes :
Paul Joseph Sachs, the first associate director of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University and a Harvard professor, was born in New York City on November 24, 1878. Sachs graduated from Harvard University in 1900 and entered the family firm Goldman,Sachs & Co., becoming a partner in 1904. In 1915, Sachs became the assistant director of the Fogg Art Museum. In 1923, Sachs became associate director, and he remained in this position until his retirement in 1948. Sachs was an avid collector of art and assembled a tremendous personal collection.

He donated many objects to the Fogg Museum during his lifetime, as well as upon his death. Sachs’ career also included teaching; he first lectured at Wellesley College in 1916 and then became an assistant professor of fine arts at Harvard in 1917. Ten years later he became an associate professor, and in 1933 he became chairman of the Harvard department of fine arts. Sachs was involved in a wide range of philanthropic endeavors throughout his life. He was actively involved in the American Red Cross during World War I and in aid to refugee scholars displaced by World War II. His philanthropy continued into the last years of his life. Paul J. Sachs died on February 18, 1965 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
