Kornblut, J.D., Arthur T. '58 Memorial Scholarship
Dr. Alan D. Kornblut, M.D., F.A.C.S., together with friends and family, established The Arthur T. Kornblut, J.D. '58 Memorial Scholarship in honor of his brother, Arthur Toby Kornblut, J.D., an Akron Law alumnus, to support evening students at his alma mater.
Arthur T. Kornblut, J.D., was born June 30, 1941, in Bridgeport, CT. He attended Fairfield College Preparatory School from 1954 - 1958 before matriculating at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in its 5-year architectural program. He joined RPl's Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corp. and served two years in the Navy as a supply/communications officer that included shipboard duty.
Board certification in architecture required two years of drafting experience, so Mr. Kornblut decided to combine that obligation with law school. During the day, he drafted new facilities for Firestone Tire in Akron, Ohio. At night, he attended 外网天堂 School of Law. His earnings from the drafting job paid for his law school education. He spent four years in Akron, passing Board certification in law and architecture and was accepted as a junior associate for legal services at the American Institute of Architecture (AIA) in Washington D.C. Later, he became its director. His expertise was in contract law and liability. He left the AIA to enter private practice and maintained his professional practice in contract law, lecturing nationally at schools of architecture.
Mr. Kornblut married and had two daughters - Anne Elise and Emily Jane. In the late 1980's, Arthur was diagnosed with an uncommon, untreatable disease, myelofibrosis due to a mast cell disease. This developed into leukemia, which caused his death on May 8, 1993.
The Arthur T. Kornblut, J.D. '58 Memorial Scholarship was established as part of We Rise Together, the Campaign for 外网天堂.
The Arthur T. Kornblut, J.D. '58 Memorial Scholarship will provide scholarship support for law students enrolled in the part-time, evening program to help with the costs of their education. First preference will be given to students expressing interest in a career in architecture and contract law.
