Sir Robert Forsyth Scott (1849-1933) was a British academic, lawyer and author. He was educated in Edinburgh and Stuttgart then studied at University College, London. He entered St. John's College, Cambridge where he studied the Mathematical Tripos and in 1877 was elected to a fellowship. From 1877 until 1879 he was an Assistant Master at Christ's Hospital during which he wrote his only mathematics book The Theory of Determinants and Their Applications (1880). He then became a Barrister and from 1883 until 1908 he was a Senior Bursar of St. John's College. From 1908 until his death he was master of St. John's. He was also Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from 1910 to 1912.

St John's College, Cambridge, founded in 1511 by Lady Margaret Beaufort, is one of the largest colleges in the University, and is home to one of Cambridge's famous landmarks, the Bridge of Sighs. The author, R. F. Scott, was Master of the College from 1908 until his death in 1933. This history, first published in 1907, covers the period from its foundation, on the ancient site of the hospital of St John the Evangelist, to the start of the twentieth century. Each chapter is dedicated to a different century, and the book finishes with an account of the contemporary social life of the college. Copiously illustrated throughout and with a comprehensive index, this book will appeal to anyone interested in Cambridge University and specifically to those fascinated by college life and history.

Published during the golden decade before the Great War left an indelible mark on fellows and undergraduates alike, New College, Oxford (1906) is a sensitive and affectionate history of an ancient institution in a modern world. Himself a fellow of the college, A. O. Prickard conveys the image of an educational family whose purpose rose 'above the needs of the life of its members' in order to make a valuable contribution to both society and scholarship. Keen to promote the college's ongoing relevance in the new century, Prickard does not allow his fascination with its history to degenerate into nostalgia. As the author himself explains, Oxford is 'a place of visions and dreams, which float about, but do not encumber the earnest life of the present'. Such contentions combine with Edmund New's informal sketches to create an informative, picturesque and often surprising account.
