About
Yenching University (pinyin: Yānjīng Dàxué) was a private research university in Beijing, China, from 1919 to 1952. The university was formed out of the merger of four Christian colleges between 1915 and 1920. The term "Yenching" comes from an alternative name for old Beijing, derived from its status as capital of the state of Yan, one of the seven Warring States that existed until the 3rd century BC.
