Tschudi was born on 2 May 1884 in Glarus. He studied classical philology (Greek and Latin) as well as eastern philology in Basel, Erlangen (where he studied under Georg Jacob), and Tübingen and was a member of the Schwizerhüsli Basel, Erlanger, and Tübingen Wingolf fraternities. He then became an assistant professor in 1910 and a professor at the Hamburgisches Kolonialinstitut in 1914.
In 1919 he came to Zürich as an associate professor, and finally in 1922 to Ordinarius in Basel. Fritz Meier was among his students.
