Just because school is out for Presidents’ Day doesn’t mean it’s a holiday from learning something new. We’ve pulled together this short quiz on the education of the U.S. presidents. It’s based on more modern standards of education and therefore the answers don’t include presidents who “read” law or were tutored at home; Wikipedia has its limits. Enjoy and we’ll be back tomorrow with the news.

  1.       Which college has the most U.S. presidents as alumni? Name the presidents.

  2.       One president founded a college.  Name the president and the college.

  3.       How many presidents attended law school?  How many graduated?

  4.       Where did Jimmy Carter attend college?

  5.       Which presidents never graduated from college?

  6.       Who is the only president to earn a Ph.D.?

  7.       Which presidents were schoolteachers?

  8.       How many presidents were Rhodes Scholars? Name them.

  9.       Six presidents were university presidents. Name them and their universities.

  10.       Which president had only six months of formal education and married his teacher?
