Abstract
This essay considers Clark Kerr’s Uses of the University, one of the most important books on American higher education, and contrasts its positive contemporary reviews with more critical later treatments. It defends Kerr from the charge of neglecting undergraduate education, discusses its little-analyzed postscripts, and identifies five ironies between the book and Kerr’s life.
