Abstract
THE trustees of the Godfrey Thomson Research Fund have given £5,000 to the University of Edinburgh, and promised an annual payment of £1,000 (in the first instance up to 1952) to permit the establish-men) of a readership in educational research, the holder of which will be largely concerned with research into problems of testing and selection. The Godfrey Thomson Research Fund draws its income from royalties on the Moray House Tests, of which the fiftieth was recently completed, and on fees from county and city education authorities for the use of tests and for statistical advice. The five trustees of the Fund, which is devoted to educational research of all kinds, but especially the improvement of intelligence and aptitude tests, are appointed by the University of Edinburgh.
