Histórico
Frederic Zeigen is known as "The Forgotten Man" in University of Miami history. While he played a vital role in the founding of UM—becoming its pro bono administrator, the secretary of the Board of Regents, and spokesperson—few people know the level of his involvement. A successful banker, world traveler and writer, Mr. Zeigen devoted much of his time and his own money to help create the University of Miami. His greatest feat was convincing George Merrick to give the nascent university 160 acres, fund the first building, and create a $4 million endowment.
