John Adams, our nation’s second president, was the first president to graduate from college, earning a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University in 1755. Remarkably, when Adams attended Harvard on scholarship at the age of fifteen, the university boasted a mere 100 students. During that era, Harvard was among the only four colleges in the American colonies, along with Yale, William and Mary, and the College of New Jersey (later known as Princeton). Following his graduation, Adams became an attorney despite not having attended law school.

The correct answer is John Adams.
