The Ivies only recently became places for the smartest students to go. In the beginning they were openly just rich kid schools, like Le Rosey and Eton today.

Taking capable youth, imprinting them with love for you while enabling them to become rich is a lot better business model than taking in kids whose parents have generational money and asking for some of it.

Rich WASPs - they did discriminate against minorities (Jews in particular) for the longest time, and still continue to do so.

Elite schools feeding the powerful and elite companies / institutions with good ol' boys has always been quite symbiotic.
