Einstein graduated from the prestigious Swiss Federal Polytechnic
college in Zurich.  His work on relativity was done afterward, at
the Swiss Patent office, while folks at Harvard were still searching
the Ether.

A college degree is certainly not a prerequisite for intelligence, but
can often provide inspiration, even if that takes the form of a 
dissatisfaction with the prevailing thinking.
