Create background:

Yenching university is one of the most famous missionary universities in modern China. It was originally formed by the merger of several North China Christian universities, such as Beijing Huiwen University, Tongzhou North China United University and Beijing North China Women's United University. It was jointly organized by Presbyterian Church, American-Israeli Society, American Women's Association, Congregation and London Society, formerly known as "Peking University".

Because different churches co-organized and different schools merged, the management was very chaotic at first, and there was no satisfactory principal until Si Tuleideng became the principal in 19 19. Si Tuleideng was one of the famous missionaries in China and later became the American ambassador to China. After he took office, he immediately reformed the school and renamed it yenching university.

Then start building a new campus and raise funds from all walks of life. After several years of hard work, this university became the most beautiful and successful university in China at that time. In terms of teaching philosophy, the school does not emphasize Christian education and implements free teaching. Starting from 1929, the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Science and the Law School were formally established, with nearly 20 departments. Its graduates are mainly active in the fields of education, politics and religion in China.
