Signaling, summer camp, and Alchian's model

Bryan Caplan thinks the signaling model of education is underrated. Arnold Kling and Robert Lawson prefer the "summer camp" model.
Two years ago I briefly noted Armen Alchian's model of higher education. I found it intriguing then, but if it's true that fewer and fewer college students are dating, it's more questionable.
