==History==
A group of citizens chartered the University of Miami in 1925 with the intent to offer "unique opportunities to develop inter-American studies, to further creative work in the arts and letters, and to conduct teaching and research programs in tropical studies."<ref name="umhist"/> They believed that a local university would benefit their community. They were overly optimistic about future financial support for UM because the ] land boom was at its peak.<ref name="umhist">{{cite web |url=http://www.miami.edu/index.php/about_us/achievements_and_traditions/history/|title=History|work=miami.edu|publisher=University of Miami|accessdate=2009-11-13}}</ref> At the time, there were three large state funded universities in Florida for white males, white females, and African-Americans. Originally, UM was intended to be a private college to serve white students.

The University began in earnest in 1925 when ], the founder of Coral Gables, gifted {{convert|160|acre|km2|1}} and nearly $4&nbsp;million dollars to the effort. The University was chartered by the Circuit Court for Dade County<ref name="bot">{{cite web|url=http://www6.miami.edu/communications/trustees/welcome.html|title=University of Miami: Board of Trustees|author=Secretary of the Corporation|publisher=University of Miami|accessdate=2009-09-11}}</ref> with an initial Board of Regents chaired by William E.

The construction of the first building on campus, now known as the Merrick Building, was left half built for over two decades due to economic difficulties.<ref name="bb"/> In the meantime, classes were held at the nearby Anastasia Hotel, with partitions separating classrooms, giving the University the short-lived nickname of "Cardboard College."<ref name="bb">{{cite web|url=http://www6.miami.edu/miami-magazine/fall01/boldbeginnigs.html|title=Miami magazine: Bold Beginnings Bright Tommorows|work=Miami Magazine|accessdate=2009-10-25}}</ref><ref name="chron">{{cite web|url=http://scholar.library.miami.edu/umhistory/chronology.html|title=University of Miami History - Chronology 1920s|publisher=UM Library|accessdate=2009-11-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2206&dat=19680228&id=6JAyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=DOoFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5377,3227826|title=Cardboard College No More|work=The Miami News|date=1968-02-28|page=18A|accessdate=2010-02-05}}</ref>

In 1929, Walsh and the other members of the Board of Regents resigned in the wake of the collapse of the Florida economy.
