I don't know the exact context of your question, but as regards the Puritans, Puritan ministers often had advanced degrees from institutions in England (this changed in American Christianity over time, as later, evangelical movements favored people with charisma).
This question, though, sounds like the teacher is asking for a specific reference from the text. I'd go back to the text and you can find the clear answer there.
