Rhodes and also, in a subsequent book, "The Marks of Examiners", of Dr. Rhodes and of Mr. Cyril Burt.Deeply impressed by his experience of the need for systematic education research, he obtained from the Leverhulme Trust in 1940 a grant of £2,000 to the University of London Institute of Education for this purpose.The organisation thereby set up was renamed in 1945 the National Foundation for Educational Research in England and Wales, and in 1947 it applied for a royal charter.
