[PAR] [TLE] Luke P. Blackburn [SEP] Luke Pryor Blackburn (June 16, 1816September 14, 1887) was an American physician, philanthropist, and politician from Kentucky.  He was elected the 28th governor of Kentucky, serving from 1879 to 1883.  Until the election of Ernie Fletcher in 2003, Blackburn was the only physician to serve as governor of Kentucky.  After earning a medical degree at Transylvania University, Blackburn moved to Natchez, Mississippi, and gained national fame for implementing the first successful quarantine against yellow fever in the Mississippi River valley in 1848.  He came to be regarded as an expert on yellow fever and often worked "pro bono" to combat outbreaks.  Among his philanthropic ventures was the construction of a hospital for boatmen working on the Mississippi River using his personal funds.  He later successfully lobbied Congress to construct a series of similar hospitals along the Mississippi. [PAR] [TLE] Transylvania University [SEP] Transylvania University is a private university in Lexington, Kentucky, United States.  It was founded in 1780, making it the first university in Kentucky and among the oldest in the United States.  It offers 36 major programs, as well as dual-degree engineering programs, and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.  Transylvania's name, meaning "across the woods" in Latin, stems from the university's founding in the heavily forested region of western Virginia known as the Transylvania Colony, which became most of Kentucky in 1792.  Transylvania is the alma mater of two U.S. vice presidents, two U.S. Supreme Court justices, fifty U.S. senators, 101 U.S. representatives, 36 U.S. governors, and 34 U.S. ambassadors, making it a large producer of U.S. statesmen.  Its medical program graduated 8,000 physicians by 1859.  Its enduring footprint, both in national and Southern academia, make it among the most prolific cultural establishments and the most storied institutions in the South.
