Frank Bolles was born on October 31, 1856, at Winchester, Massachussets, United States, the son of John A. Bolles and his wife, Catherine Dix, a sister of John Adams Dix.
Bolles studied law in Washington, spent the summer of 1879 in Europe, and entered the Harvard Law School, from which he graduated in 1882. While studying at Harvard, he founded and was first president of the Harvard Cooperative Society, compiled a genealogy of his mother's family, won the Bowdoin prize for an essay on international arbitration, and with two other Harvard Law students brought out A Collection of Important English Statutes (1880). Two later, enlarged editions were entirely his own work.
After some journalistic and editorial experience on the Boston Advertiser, Bolles became in 1886 a secretary to President Eliot of Harvard and in 1887 secretary of the University. The latter post, which up till then had been that of a glorified bookkeeper, Bolles made into an office of wide influence. He was kind, candid, and approachable, concerned for everything affecting the welfare of the University, and unremitting in his endeavor to make Harvard equally hospitable to the unknown poor boy and to the son of the affluent and influential alumnus. He built up a remarkably efficient employment bureau, helped to found the Harvard Graduates Magazine, and arranged for numerous loans to needy students. His memory retained names, faces, and personal histories beyond the capacity of the most elaborate filing system; his industry was unflagging, his resources of ideas and enthusiasm apparently inexhaustible.
As passionate as Bolles’s devotion to Harvard and Harvard's sons was his love of nature. His official duties were confining, but on afternoons and holidays he would make short excursions on foot or by train to the open country and write up his notes on birds and flowers while returning at night on the cars. His summers were given to an abandoned farm at the base of Mt. Chocorua, in New Hampshire, where he could lie motionless behind a bush all day, when he chose, studying the habits of sparrow, wren, owl, and woodpecker. Early in January 1894, an attack of grippe developed into the pneumonia from which he died on January 10. From Blomidon to Smoky, and Other Papers (1894) and Chocorua's Tenants (1895), in verse, were issued posthumously. Bolles's English is limpid, his attitude toward nature impersonal and yet sympathetic.

Bolles was a tall, rugged man with bearded face and friendly eyes.
In October 1884 Bolles married Elizabeth Quincy Swan, of Cambridge, Massachussets, by whom he had four daughters.
