The Paul G. Blazer Lecture Series in the Humanities
The Blazer Lecture Series was started in 1950 by Paul G. Blazer, founder of Ashland Oil, Inc., and his wife, Georgia Blazer, the first woman to serve on the UK Board of Trustees. It was their wish that the series enlighten the thinking and challenge the assumptions of faculty, students and the community. To ensure their vision became a reality, the College of Arts and Sciences has hosted more than 100 individuals as Blazer Lecturers including an American President, several Pulitzer Prize winners, a Nobel Laureate, two ambassadors and dozens of distinguished scholars, authors and researchers.
