To save you the trouble of scrolling through the kind of lame UI: Truman was the last president to not have a degree, and he left office more than 69 years ago. To be honest, this kind of seems like saying "91 percent of presidents never owned a cell phone"; it might be true, but it doesn't make a ton of sense in a broader context.
