        For 1952, 1956 and 1958:  the original category recoded to code 6
        here only mentioned "has a degree" or "completed college," without
        specifying Bachelor's degree or 4-year college.  Another code also
        present in these years specified "some college;" it has been recoded
        to code 5.

        Code 6 includes 1 cases in 1968, 2 cases in 1976 and 4 cases in 1974
        which were designated by respondents as 'honorary degrees.'

        In 1986 and later, no code was present in the original data
        corresponding to code 4:  no cases appear in VCF0140 code 4 after
        1984.

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

        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 variable.

        In 1994, 1992 data were incorporated for 'panel' cases.

            1.  8 grades or less ('grade school')
            2.  9-12 grades ('high school'), no diploma/equivalency
            3.  12 grades, diploma or equivalency
            4.  12 grades, diploma or equivalency plus non-academic training
            5.  Some college, no degree; junior/community college level
                degree (AA degree)
            6.  BA level degrees; advanced degrees incl. LLB

            8.  DK
