Boris Blai (July 24, 1893 – June 28, 1985) was a Ukrainian-born American sculptor, and academic administrator.
His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
[1] In 1935, Blai founded and became the dean of the Stella Elkins Tyler School of Art at Temple University.
[2][3] The school was named for one of his former students, who, with her husband, had donated the estate where it was established.
[4][3] 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.
