Temple loses friend, benefactor
James E. Beasley, one of Temple’s most distinguished and generous alumni, died Sept. 18 at age 78.
Beasley graduated from Temple in 1953 and from Temple Law School in 1956. He gained fame as a trial lawyer, focusing on cases involving medical malpractice, aviation, products liability, defamation and personal injury.
In 1999, Beasley gave an endowment to Temple Law School that was, and still is, the largest ever given to the University. The school was renamed in his honor that year.
“We were lucky to have him around for as long as we did and to have received so much support and generosity from him,” former President Peter J. Liacouras said.

This Week in Temple History
November 6, 1980
The Temple Times reported that in emphasizing the continuing growth of the Ambler Campus, former President Marvin Wachman announced plans for the construction of a new multipurpose building on the campus. Groundbreaking for the facility was scheduled for Dec. 8, with completion of the 15,000-square-foot building expected in January 1982.
The two-story structure would bear the name Dixon Hall, in honor of F. Eugene Dixon, former chairman of the Board of Trustees. Some of its features were to include faculty offices, an 80-seat classroom with visual aid facilities and two drafting rooms to be used by engineering technology, horticulture, landscape design and art students.
