Wadham was among young academics, including J. M. (Baron) Keynes, who, wishing to reform university governance, made submissions to the 1920 royal commission on the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. In addition to his teaching, Wadham pursued mycological studies with F. T. Brooks, carried out seminal research on the ecology of the Fens, and collaborated with (Sir) Frank Engledow in establishing the basis of yield variation in cereals. The latter work exhibited a rigorous mathematical approach at a time when the application of statistical method to biology was in its infancy.
