Hillary had a moustache but was never the president so she doesn't count.

Teddy

Obama with his beard.
Before that, my guess was Teddy but apparently it was Taft. I can never remember the order of those presidents from late 1800s to early 1900s.

Taft?

The "Founders" era of Presidents were mainly clean-shaven. John Quincy Adams wore long sideburns.
Beginning with Lincoln, all Presidents through Taft wore facial hair, except Andrew Johnson and McKinley.
Even if a President briefly grew some facial hair (e.g. Truman on vacation), the tradition has been clean-shaven since Taft, even extending to any major candidate since then, except Dewey and his mustache.
So, JD Vance will potentially break that tradition in 2028.

Reagan, Ford, Nixon went to normal schools. Don't remember where Reagan went, Ford went to Michigan, Nixon went to Whittier I think.
Nixon went to Duke for law school, Ford transferred to Yale during law school.
Reagan received a BA from Eureka Collage.
But, the premise is deeply flawed.
Over 1/4 of U.S. Presidents never finished college. These include Washington (although his legacy created 3 institutions) and Millard Fillmore (who founded what is now SUNY-Buffalo). Lincoln was largely self-taught and Andrew Johnson was completely self-taught.
LBJ went to Texas State, Benjamin Harrison Miami-Ohio, Harding to Ohio Central, Polk to UNC, and so on (most U.S. Presidents with college educations went to local/state schools, at least for undergrad).
Our perspectives are skewed by bias for recent and high-profile (Roosevelts, Kennedy for Harvard, Bushes and Taft for Yale, just to name a few) examples of Ivy League education, and there is a decent percentage who ended up in Ivies for grad/law school as well.
