Missourian Harry Truman, while he did attend Spalding’s Commercial College in Kansas City, studying bookkeeping, shorthand, and typing, he left after one year. An attempt to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point failed due to Truman’s notoriously poor eyesight. He also took night courses towards a law degree at the Kansas City Law School in the 1920s, but did not finish when he lost his county judgeship re-election bid. He is the most recent President not the graduate from college or university.

ToC projection update:
With a projected 79 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 2.9836 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3506).
An average of 4.5509 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6653).
An early cutoff took place 12.738% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Alan Lin qualified 32.283% of the time.
Tim Kutz qualified 63.828% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 22.530% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 5.299% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 1.544% of the time.
(Note: Due to the possibility of a WGA strike, I feel that it is more accurate for ToC projections to add 20 games to the end of the previous projected qualifying period.)
