Educator with a distinguished military career in the U.S. Army during World War I. A native of Kentucky, educated at Centre College, Danville, Kentucky, and the University of Heidelberg, and taught at Rice University, 1912-1925. Dr. Blayney served as President of the College of Industrial Arts in Denton, Texas, 1925-1926. He later served as Dean of the College and Chairman of the Department of German at Carleton College in Minnesota. The bulk of the collection is comprised of nationwide newspaper clippings pertaining to Blayney’s short and tumultuous appointment in 1925 as President of the College of Industrial Arts (now Texas Woman's University). The collection also includes a small group of letters, papers, invitations, and publicity materials about the college and published works by Blayney promoting the college. Appointed by Governor Miriam Ferguson, Blayney was caught in a Texas political power struggle in which he was asked to resign from the College of Industrial Arts (TWU).
