Biographical Note: Oliver Perry Temple (1820-1907) was a longtime Tennessee lawyer and trustee of the University of Tennessee. Temple was educated at public schools in Greene County and at Washington College. After reading law under Judge Robert McKinney for two years, Temple was admitted to the bar in 1846. In 1847, Temple unsuccessfully ran for Congress; he was defeated by Andrew Johnson. In 1850, Temple was appointed by President Millard Fillmore commissioner to conciliate the Indian tribes in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. A unionist, Temple remained in Knoxville during the Civil War and served as one of the lawyers for the defendants in the legal case arising out of "The Great Locomotive Chase." In addition to being the first president of the East Tennessee Farmer's Convention, Temple helped found the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad, was the Tennessee agent for Thomas Hughes in founding the Rugby Colony, and was a trustee of the University of Tennessee from 1854 until his death in 1907.
