About the author
Born in Madison, Wisconsin, on October 24, 1880, Richard Frederick Scholz was a scholar, author, and college administrator. He is known in the public-domain record as R. F. Scholz, including on Project Gutenberg, where Oxford and the Rhodes Scholarships appears under his name.
Scholz wrote on both higher education and ancient history. Alongside Stanley Kuhl Hornbeck, he coauthored Oxford and the Rhodes Scholarships in 1907, and he also published Municipal and Feudal Tendencies in Roman Imperial Administration, showing the range of his scholarly interests.
In April 1921, he became president of Reed College, where he worked to reshape the curriculum around a more integrated course of study. His time there was brief: Reed records note that he was born on October 24, 1880, and died in Portland, Oregon, on July 23, 1924.
