Presents an obituary for Arthur (Art) J. Riopelle. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin in 1942, Art joined the U.S. Army. He returned to the university after the war as a graduate student in psychology and earned a doctorate in experimental psychology under the supervision of Dave Grant and Fred Mote. In 1950, Art completed his degree and moved to the Psychology Department of Emory University in Georgia. This was the beginning of an unusual and eventful career. At Emory, Art worked with Harlow W. Ades, but when Ades eventually left, Art established a small colony of monkeys to pursue his own projects. Art moved from Emory to Fort Knox, Kentucky, in 1957 to become director of the Psychology Division of the U.S. Army Medical Laboratories. He continued to be involved with primates, including on a well-publicized project that entailed launching monkeys into space. In 1959, Art left Fort Knox to become the new director of what was then known as the Yerkes Laboratories of Primate Biology. Art played an important part in the history of regional primate research centers, which have benefited the nation in numerous ways. He had many admirable qualities. He was a tolerant, supportive, fair-minded, and principled administrator, a careful and dedicated scientist, and a steadfast friend who loved a good joke.
