Robert Forsyth Scott (1849–1933) was a distinguished academic and mathematician who served as Master of St John's College, Cambridge, from 1908 until his death. He made a significant contribution to the study of mathematics, particularly through his work on determinants and algebraic geometry. Scott's scholarly pursuits were rooted in a deep engagement with the history and function of the academic institutions to which he belonged. This engagement was exemplified in his book 'St. John's College, Cambridge,' a meticulous history of the college that reflects his profound connection to the place he both studied and later led. As well as being of mathematical import, Robert Forsyth Scott also had a discernible influence on the administrative reforms in Cambridge, contributing to the reshaping of the university's educational landscape during his tenure. Scott's literary style was characterized by precision and thoroughness, which not only marked his mathematical writings but also his historical recounts. His works are a testament to his expertise in both the realms of academia and administration, making him a notable figure in the annals of Cambridge's storied past. His contributions are still recognized by scholars who are intrigued by the intersection of mathematics, history, and the evolution of educational institutions.
