Rudolph D. Lindquist served as president of Chico State Teachers College for five months, completing the 1930-1931 school year begun under President Charles Osenbaugh.
Lindquist, born in Oakland, California, in 1888, began his teaching career in 1907 in rural Minnesota schools. After two years, he moved to Kansas to teach in private schools for two years before returning to California to attend the University of California in Berkeley. After receiving his degree in education in 1915, Lindquist served as vice-principal and football coach at Elko (Nevada) High School.
He returned to Berkeley in 1919 and served in numerous administrative positions while earning a master's degree. He became assistant superintendent of schools in Oakland in 1927, a position he held until his appointment as President of Chico State Teachers College. He moved to Chico and assumed his new position on February 1, 1931, relieving acting President Studley.
Lindquist was married and had a ten-year old daughter at the time of his appointment. Lindquist had served two years with the 363rd Infantry, including an overseas tour.
While at Chico State Teachers College, Lindquist became nationally recognized as an administrator, served on the California Curriculum Board, and frequently spoke at meetings and conventions of school administrators and teachers.
In spring 1931, Ohio State University approached Lindquist to develop and direct an experimental school for them. He accepted the position, which began in the fall of 1931. Lindquist directed the Thirteenth Annual Chico State Teachers College Summer Session at Mt. Shasta, Ca., (June 22, 1931 - July 31, 1931), and ended his association with Chico State teachers College on August 1, 1931.
In 1943, he returned to California and served as Superintendent of Schools in Santa Barbara until his death in 1948 following an automobile accident.
