Abstract The traditional university in Germany produces a lasting influence historically. The formation and positive significance of the Humboldtian tradition is much concerned in China, but its negative effect is often neglected. Based on literatures and statistics, the article explores the fate of this tradition in the viewpoint of historical evolution and analyzes the conflict between the tradition and modern, idea and practice. The traditional university was a particular elite institution designed for the aristocracy in the initial stage of industrialization. Without modification, it became ossified and monopolized, which ran contrary to the popular tendency of higher education and prevented its further development. After the World War II, with the growing of the student number, German higher education stepped into the revolution era, got rid of the trammel of tradition and turned to a popular style and diversification.
