Nagendranath had no definite plan for educating his son, Nitindranath. Rabindranath wrote to him on 2 Feb, 1923;
" Pearson informed us of a good school at Lichfield Lichfield (pron.: /ˈlɪtʃfiːld/) is a cathedral city, civil parish and district in Staffordshire, England. One of eight civil parishes with city status in England, Lichfield is situated roughly 16 mi (26 km) north of Birmingham. In 2008, its population was estimated at 30,583 and the wider Lichfield district at 100,700 ). I think, Nitu will be benifited there."
He again wrote on 26 Jan 1924;
" One lady of Paris came to our place at Shantiniketan . She heard about Nitu. She is willing to take the charge of his education in Paris with all necessary expenditure.There is another friend of ours , named Rana( Indian) whose wife is a German, staying in Paris . He asked for a little Bengali girl to brought her up in his expenditure. But i could not get any of such girl."
Nitu could have higher education with their help but Nagendranath showed no interest. He only wanted money. He tried to sell two manuscript of Rabindranath to some american when they went there to attend an exhibition of earth work in 1924. We don't know that how many manuscripts he had misappropriated. These woul;d have great help to the future researchers.
Nagendranth ultimately got a Ph.D. under Sir John Russel of London University and he joined in his previous service at Calcutta University. but his quarter at Ballygunge Science College was, by that time, occuppied by Stell Cromrish joined at the post of Rani Bageshwari Professor. As a result Nagendra had some difficulty in getting his accomodation. By this time Ashutosh Mukhopadhyay who appointed Nagendranath died . Nagendra approached Rabindranath for help. Rabindranath wrote a letter to Shyamaprasad Mukhopadhyay, the son of Ashutosh Mukhopadhya, a member Senate, calcutta University;
" Nagendranath is now homeless from the place your father had given the shelter. To my opinion tis is not permitted as per rules. When he was sent to London, you could have sent the notice to him, it would have been better. But he was not informed during his stay in abroad. Just when he was going to join his service his legitimate rights were about to be taken away without any fault of his own. It is you who have sent him to abroad for University work and he remained absent during these days - he has done creditably for which he was sent to abroad. Is this his fault for which he has to be penalised or liable to insult ?"
The letter yielded no good result. Nagendranath was granted Rs.100/- as house rent instead of given a quarter.
