Carl Brown Riddle

Carl Brown Riddle is the credited author of College Men Without Money, a book first published in 1914 and preserved by sources including Project Gutenberg, Open Library, and the Internet Archive. The book centers on students who worked their way through college, collecting experiences meant to encourage others who hoped to pursue higher education without wealth.

From the book's surviving descriptions and text, his interest seems firmly rooted in access to education and in the discipline, persistence, and resourcefulness required to achieve it. Rather than writing a purely abstract argument, he assembled concrete examples and personal narratives, giving the book an earnest, motivational tone.

Reliable biographical detail about his life is limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to remember him chiefly through this work and its theme: opening the door to college for people with more determination than money.
