Abstract
WE regret to announce that Sir Robert Forsyth Scott, master of St. John's College, Cambridge, died on November 18, at the age of eighty-four years. He had for some time been in failing health but he retained his keen interest in the affairs of the College and was glad to see his friends until a few days before his death. Only a few weeks before, he had completed fifty years in the service of the College, twenty-five years as senior bursar and twenty-five years as master. To this service he gave himself without reserve. His acute mind, with a combination of mathematical and legal training, added to his knowledge of and sympathy with men, made that service invaluable to the College during a long period of difficult finance.
