The rise in application, initially, had something to do with the post-war "baby boom," but, even though those babies are now upperclassmen, the rise continues. Glimp has only one explanation that links the rise to Harvard as an institution--that President Kennedy identified Harvard with "public service," especially in the minds of young people.
