GIFFORD BLYTONSince 1948, the year Dr. Gifford Blyton was employed to start an intercollegiate debating team at theUniversity of Kentucky, his name has become synonymous with forensics in Kentucky. Hired to bring topscholars to U.K., Dr. Blyton did just that. In the twenty years that he coached the debating team, hisstudents won over 700 championship trophies, including several national championships. Dr.Blyton taught and coached some of the most outstanding legal scholars in our nation, includingformer Washington D.C. Bar Association president George Shadoan and former Clemson Universitypresident Dr. C.W. "Deno" Curris. One of his former students, Rodney Page, still holds the record forthe highest score ever earned on the LSAT (Law School Admission Test).Some of Dr. Blyton's proudest accomplishments include co-authoring the 1954 Tau Kappa Alpha bestsellingdebate text Principles of Argumentation and Debate, being named president of the American ForensicAssociation, and organizing the first integrated debate in the nation between the University of Kentuckyand Kentucky State University. This historic debate made headlines nationwide and came two yearsbefore the Supreme Court's decision in Brown vs. Board of Education.Well known for his ability to generate support and enthusiasm for forensics, Dr. Blyton retired from U.K.in 1975 to become the director of the Kentucky High School Speech League, Inc. As director, he wasinstrumental in rebuilding high school debate. Under his leadership, the League flourished.
