Abstract
This chapter examines the controversies during the emergence of the modern university to look for some insights about contemporary higher education. In the overview, I find that the contemporary university faces similar dilemmas to the modern university of the nineteenth century. The current dilemma is how to resolve the conflict between undergraduate education and graduate education, between teaching and research, and between pure and applied research. As a potential solution, this chapter proposes a multilayered approach which allows for autonomous decision-making by different academic units—undergraduate education, graduate education, and applied research units.
