        Question wording in 1948 is undocumented.

        Personal data forms were completed for no-pre cases in 1960:  data
        from these forms were incorporated into the (pre) education var
        listed here for 1960.

        In 1992, this question was not part of the short-form questionnaire;
        for short-form 'panel' cases, however, 1990 study data were
        incorporated into the 1992 education summary var (V3908).

        In 1948, no distinction was made between Rs holding college degrees
        and those Rs who attended college but did not receive a degree.
        All cases coded 'college' in 1948 are coded 3 -- there are no cases
        coded 4 for 1948.

        Code 4 includes 1 cases in 1968, 2 cases in 1976 and 4 cases in 1974
        which were designated by respondents as 'honorary degrees.'

        In 1994, 1992 data was incorporated for panel cases.
