Boris Blai
Boris Blai (July 24, 1893 – June 28, 1985) was an American sculptor. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics. In 1935, Blai founded and became the dean of the Stella Elkins Tyler School of Art, which is now part of Temple University. Two of Blai's sculptures are publicly accessible on the Temple campus: a large bust of Temple's founder Russell Conwell which decorates Conwell's grave site, and a small statue of Johnnie Ring, Conwell's orderly during the Civil War.
