looks like he was summoned away from undergraduate studies when a Canadian governmental agency needed his expertise, then he pursued studies along, subsequently MIT summoned him for assistance solving a problem others could not... and JOHN did what OTHERS COULD NOT.
Thus his honrary degree from MIT and his joining the CSAIL group by invitation from MIT.
Many of the most brilliant are self-taught and absorb more textbooks & information on more subjects than the less intelligent ever attempt to study... and for many of them a traditional degree is never acquired because sitting thru the required classes with ordunary folks bores them to tears...
and they are quite successful at generating income without having an official degree!
John was pictured next to T A Edison not too long back... (excerpted from wikipedia):
"In school, the young Edison's mind often wandered, and his teacher, the Reverend Engle, was overheard calling him "addled". This ended Edison's three months of official schooling."

Don't sweat the degree... John's doing OK without it! LMAO.
Look at how Edison fared (from wikipedia):
"This began Edison's long streak of entrepreneurial ventures as he discovered his talents as a businessman. These talents eventually led him to found 14 companies, including General Electric, which is still in existence and is one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world."
"I call investing the greatest business in the world because you never have to swing... All day you wait for the pitch you like,... The problem when you're a money manager is that your fans keep yelling, 'Swing. you bum!'"
