Here is the actual paper:

The figures of interest are in the back. Figure 3 refers to college graduation rates by family income quartiles for the 1961-1964 birth cohorts and 1979-1982 birth cohorts. Figure 2 refers to college entry rates.

For the 1961-1964 birth cohort, college entry and graduation percentages by family income quartile were:

19/5, 32/14, 38/17, 58/36

For the 1979-1982 birth cohort, the percentages were:

29/9, 47/21, 60/32, 80/54

Note that if you divide the college graduation percentage by the college entry percentage, the graduation percentage for those who entered college were for the 1961-1964 cohort:

26, 44, 45, 62

For the 1979-1982 birth cohort:

31, 44, 53, 68
