I still agree with cfield here. There were, say 1% of the population with master degrees, and 0.2% with a Ph.D. 50 years later, there are maybe 5% of the population with master degrees, and 1% with a Ph.D. Numbers are invented, but something like that could prove that H&P's degrees were comparable to today's Ph.Ds.
