=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Felix Speiser (born October 10, 1880 in Basel , Switzerland, September 19, 1949 ) was a Swiss ethnologist ; Speiser studied and promoted chemistry at the University of Basel . Later he also promoted in the field of ethnology in Berlin and then became a professor in Basel, where he was appointed director of the Museum of Ethnology. <br />After attending the school in Basel, Speiser Chemie studied in Neuchâtel, Göttingen and Basel. As an employee of Geigy, he traveled to America. An earlier interest in ethnology induced him to devote himself entirely to this science, and in 1906 he conducted a first study among the Hopi Indians of North America. 1907-1908 followed the study of the ethnology at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin and at the Royal Museum of Ethnology Berlin under Felix von Luschan . After he had promoted ethnology in 1914, he was a professor at the University of Basel from 1917 onwards. <br />Felix Speiser undertook several major research trips: from 1910-1912 to Vanuatu ( New Hebrides ) and 1924 to the north- east of Brazil to the Aparai -Indians (present states of Amapá and Pará ). [1] In 1929-1930 he traveled again to the Pacific to the islands of Bougainville and New Britain and to the Sepik valley on New Guinea . [2] [3] <br />Speiser was director of the Museum of Ethnic Studies Basel , the Museum of Cultures , from 1942 to 1949. <br />
