It\u2019s also the same year that John Manhold graduated from  the University of Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Manhold has led a full life as an accomplished dental researcher recognized for wound healing studies, a consultant, and a faculty member. He also spent many years as an attending pathologist at the New Jersey Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>Manhold is also a Navy veteran of World War II and Korea and a gifted sculptor, golfer, and competitive shooter. He also enjoys playing the guitar, which he picked up as a hobby when he was in his 60s. Manhold is a prolific reader, too, and, today at 101 years old, he writes book reviews for Amazon and is about to publish a memoir of his life. Manhold and his wife of 50 years, Kit, are also adventurers and have sailed thousands of miles around the world, often in their 42-foot yacht, Ketita II.<\/p>\n<p>At Rochester, Manhold was an English major and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He was also a fencer, football player, and boxer, a pastime that also helped him pay his way through Harvard School of Dental Medicine. To mark 80 years since Manhold graduated, here\u2019s a look at his college admissions application from 1937.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is much to learn by looking at the past,&#8221; says Manhold. &#8220;My undergraduate education at Rochester prepared me well for a very full career and life. It helped me hone the skills needed to adapt to changing times, including changes in technology, society, and scholarship.&#8221;[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;75px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31172&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; mkd_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">An excerpt from Manhold\u2019s 1937 college admissions application, in which he notes his goal of entering the medical profession\u2014an objective he achieved.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31162&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; mkd_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]During high school, Manhold\u2019s favorite books were about Germany, Napoleon, and Lincoln and he regularly read <em>Life<\/em> magazine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31202&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; mkd_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]In Manhold\u2019s college essay\u2014aptly titled \u201cThe Story of My Life\u201d\u2014he says, \u201cI arrived on the hot summer afternoon of August 20, 1919 in Rochester, New York at five-fifteen to the accompaniment of the doctors vocal solo, \u2018arriving on the Five-Fifteen,\u2019 which was the current song hit.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31212&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; mkd_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]Manhold also notes this in his essay, \u201cWhen I was a small child, I decided that I should like to follow the medical profession.
