News you can use, or not
History of US Presidents and College
Debbie Heam
for
The Times
I have no doubt that at some point in your life you’ve wondered about, talked about, or
discussed different things that really don’t matter at the end of the day.
Our latest at work (we have these weird discussions all the time) is how many presidents
have a college degree? One thought it was a prerequisite to be president. Two of us thought
it wasn’t. Hence, this article. I was surprised by a few things I found.
Fewer than 50% of the nation’s first 24 presidents held any kind of college degrees. The
most recent that served without a college degree was our 33rd president, Harry S. Truman,
who was president until 1953. He attended business college and law school but didn’t
graduate from either.
In the modem-day history of presidents, it seems that they not only have a college degree
but have received them from elite universities in the US.
Fact: Every president since George H.W. Bush has held a degree from an Ivy League
university.
In my opinion you can run for president without a college degree but present day it seems

Kile joins
Sylvania Ford
By Joe Brady, Editor
for
The Times
Ken Kile is back
home. That was the
first thing he said when
we sat down together
last week. “I come
from a long line of
law enforcement, even
was an officer myself.”
Ken continues. The
Sylvania native is the
baby of 8. His brother Mike is the oldest. “I like
sales, and I like helping people.
Ken says one thing that distinguishes him
from other car sales reps is his no pressure, laid
back attitude. “I sell cars because I want to, not
because I have to.” Prior to Sylvania Ford, Ken
worked for Vaden Nissan for 15 years, and JC
Lewis for 5. The father of two and grandfather
of one is single but that gives him more time
to concentrate on helping others. “Once you’ve
been in public service, all you want to do is serve.
That’s what I do here.” Ken is at Sylvania Ford
