He stayed out of the service until his graduation from Harvard in 1864, when he was commissioned an officer and placed on U. S. Grant's staff. Robert Lincoln was quoted as saying humorously that if he had been a better scholar, his father would not have been elected president.

Robert, sent east, alone, in 1859 to enter Harvard, failed to get passing marks in 15 out of 16 qualifying examinations.
