History

The University of Miami was chartered in 1925, but didn't begin in earnest until 1926 when George E. Merrick gifted 160 acres (0.6 km²) and nearly $4 million dollars to the University. The University underwent a series of misfortunes, including the 1926 Florida land-bust, the 1926 Miami Hurricane (UM's namesake), and the Great Depression of 1929. The construction of the first building on campus, now known as the Merrick Building, was put on hold for over two decades due to economic hard times. In the meantime, classes were held at the nearby Anastasia Hotel, with partitions separating classrooms, giving the University the nickname of "Cardboard College". The University survived early turmoil during the leadership of its first president Bowman Foster Ashe (1926-1952). His Administration overcame bankruptcy, a reorganization and World War II. During his presidency, the University added the School of Law (1928), the School of Business Administration (1929), the School of Education (1929), the Graduate School (1941), the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (1943), the School of Engineering (1947), and the School of Medicine (1952).
