Bill and Eva - all good guesses but not correct. Some may have smoked in school, but the one I am looking for was definitely caught and punished.

FDR??

Very logical, Eva, as FDR was a definite smoker, but it's not him who was caught and punished.

Ok, three other ones would still come to my mind.

Grant?

Hint #1: His presidency came after Grant but before FDR.

McKinley?

Nope.

Hint #2: His rebelliousness included not dressing according to regulations.

Correction - my bad - I was thinking of when he was in school.

His Presidency came after Grant but before Nixon.

THAT would be interesting trivia!

Yes, indeed. John Quincy Adams, among others, for that, but not the answer to this question about the President who was reprimanded for smoking in school.

...and he was said to swim naked in the Potomac each morning.

Wild Guess: John F. Kennedy?

Not sure about the smoking while in school, but while in the White House, he was known for liking to swim naked in the indoor pool.

Nope, the correct answer is not Kennedy.

Hint #3: The school in this question was not grade or high school.

LBJohnson?

Good guess, Eva, as LBJ, like JFK, was also said to swim naked in the White House pool.

But, he was not the one who got in trouble in school for smoking.
