More students are applying, probably. 50 years ago, you had to go to some trouble to apply to a college; you couldn't just do it online. Also, 50 years ago, they didn't have hordes of international students applying from around the world, but today that's common in American universities.

The primary problem however is that money—the finances of education—has become as important or even more so than education itself. 50 years ago education had more intrinsic worth that it does today. Well, anyway, it did with those who controlled the politics and thus the pursestrings.
