我在高等教育方面的經驗，大部分來自美國的大學。1971年，我從加州柏克萊大學畢業，到了普林斯頓高等研究院做博士後。
(台大演講，當時哈佛的代預約 IAS的數倍，陳省身要他去 IAS.....邱先生說，人生總該去IAS一回以上).....
英國大學在十九世紀初期受到教育家紐曼（J. H. Newman）的影響，重點在於傳授學問而不在乎發現知識，培養紳士和人的價值。
德國大學理念由十九世紀初洪堡（W. von Humboldt）提出：以純知識為對象，從事創造性的學問。
到了二十世紀三十年代，美國的弗萊克斯納（A. Flexner）融合了這兩種不同的看法：大學培養人才，既做研究，也服務社會。他認為大學的精神，在於培養貴族的氣質和對純粹學術的追求，不必考慮社會經濟、職業等需要。
歐美大學確是教研重地。但是歐美大學很多設有大型實驗室：柏克萊下面有勞倫斯放射實驗室（Lawrence Radiation Lab），洛斯可拉莫斯實驗室（Los Alamos Lab）；麻省理工有林肯實驗室（Lincoln Lab）；加州理工有航空動力實驗室（Jet Propulsion Laboratory）；美國能源部、海軍、空軍、陸軍、衛生署都設有大型實驗室。私人公司例如 AT&T，設有貝爾實驗室（Bell Lab）。
貝爾實驗室雖然屬於電話公司，但是他們做了大量基礎科學的重要工作。舉例來說，他們發現了宇宙微波背景。這個發現使宇宙學成為一個重要的科學。他們亦因此贏得諾貝爾獎。貝爾實驗室一共得到過六個諾獎。
1930 年，一間百貨公司捐款給普林斯頓成立了高等研究所。高研所聚集了全世界一流的學者，進行基礎科學的研究。偉大學者如愛因斯坦、魏爾（H. Weyl）、韋依（A. Weil）等都曾經是這個所的教授。
歐洲也有很多研究所，例如德國普朗克研究所（Max Planck Institute）就很出色。
IAS； Dr. Albert Einstein House at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton
該屋 (產權屬於 IAS，Institute for Advanced Study，不是普林斯頓大學)住過3位諾貝爾獎得主：

Dr. Albert Einstein House at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton which I drive by everyday to my school. Dr. Einstein lived in this house from 1936 until his death in 1955.
It is a very humble and ordinary house. But this house has extraordinary Fengshui that at least three Nobel Prize Winners once lived.
Albert Einstein reportedly requested that this house not be made a museum, and the family did not want it to be recognized as such. Nonetheless it was added to the National Register of Historic Places and further designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1976.[1][2][5]
The house was previously occupied by Eric Maskin and his family. He was the Albert O. Hirschman Professor in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton until 2011, and the 2007 Nobel Prize winner with two others. He is currently a Professor of Economics at Harvard University. Previously it was occupied by 2004 Nobel prize winner physicist Frank Wilczek when he was a professor in IAS between 1989 and 2001. Reportedly he requested the house from the IAS as his condition to move to Princeton, and he had been holding evening seminars in the house for graduate students.

217 記美國弗勒斯納(Abraham Flexner)先生(胡適) 2018-02-21 漢清講堂
人的評價，很有意思。據2017年的文章說，Abraham Flexner 1959過世時，紐約時報頭版刊出消息/訃文、社論，對他的貢獻，贊美有加。現在，我們在醫學教育圈，還可讀他百年前報告的檢討。然而，你從Wikipedia 對他的介紹，讀不出光與熱。
在普林斯頓的高等研究院網頁，可以讀到2017年的書的後半部。又，這本百來頁的精裝英文書，台大圖書館的進價二百多點(元)，台灣的書店現在幾乎無此種定價的書。
