In 1935, Blai founded and became the dean of the Stella Elkins Tyler School of Art at Temple University.[2] The school was named for one of his former students, who, with her husband, had donated the estate where it was established.[3][4]
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.[5]
