Autorenporträt
Frederick Starr (September 2, 1858 - August 14, 1933) was an American academic, anthropologist, and "populist educator" born at Auburn, New York. As he was avid collector of charms (ofuda) and votive slips (senjafuda or nosatsu) he was called Dr. Ofuda in Japan He sold much of this collection to art collector and museum specialist Gertrude Bass Warner, and it currently resides at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon and the University of Oregon Knight Library Special Collections & University Archives. Starr earned an undergraduate degree at the University of Rochester (1882) and a doctorate in geology at Lafayette College (1885). While working as a curator of geology at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York, he became interested in anthropology and ethnology. Frederic Ward Putnam helped him become appointed as curator of AMNH's ethological collection (1889-1891). In this period, he became active in the Chautauqua circuit as a popular professor and, in 1888-89, as registrar. When William Rainey Harper, president of the Chautauqua Institution, was named President of the University of Chicago, he appointed Starr as an assistant professor of anthropology there. Starr moved to the University of Chicago in 1891; he served in its faculty for the next 31 years.[4] He was an Assistant professor (1892-95), and he gained tenure in 1896.
