This article provides an historical review of some of the contributions of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial to the establishment and maintenance of research in child development between 1925 and 1940. In discussing the aims of the funding agency and those of the recipients, the author uses the development of the longitudinal program at the University of California, Berkeley, as a model. The influence of the Memorial on the content and direction of early research is described, and reference is made to more recent assessments of longitudinal studies.
