About Dallas K. Beal
Following his 13 years as a faculty member, director and dean, Dr. Dallas K. Beal was President of Fredonia from 1971 to 1984. He was later the President of Connecticut State University. After retiring, he returned to Fredonia, N.Y., and served the campus again as interim President in 1996. Dr. Beal was known and loved by many in his life-long service to Fredonia, and was a consistent and generous donor. His death in 2002 did not stop his legacy, as he made the college a beneficiary of his estate.
