T. Blomquist arrived at Cornell in 1932 as a National Research
Council postdoctoral fellow, subsequently serving as a professor
of organic chemistry. Blomquist established an international
profile for his work in the behavior of small-ring molecules,
the chemistry of many-membered rings, and the synthesis of novel
monomers and polymers. Blomquist himself was a warm and generous
man and an empathetic teacher. This series of lectures is funded
by Professor Blomquist's family, former students, and co-workers.
The inaugural lecturer was John D. Baldeschwieler, followed by
Victor Hruby, Samuel J. Danishefsky, Jack Dunitz, Dennis Dougherty, Guy Ourisson, Karl Anker Jørgensen, Eiichi Nakamura, Dale Boger, Albert Heck, and David Evans.
