The Bridgman Girl’s School (founded in 1864) was renamed North China Union College for Women(華北協和女子大學) in 1904. Together with The North China Union College and Peking (Methodist) University (匯文大學, founded since 1890), they formed this Yenching University. The formal year to marked the beginning of Yenching University was 1919, the year in which John Leighton Stuart accepted the presidency to start this new university though the name "Yenching University" was formalized in a year later. With the presidency of John L. Stuart, Yenching University was able to develop its international network extensively, especially with the well-known universities and institutions such as: Harvard-Yenching Institute, Missouri-Yenching Foundation, Princeton in Beijing and Rockefeller Foundation.

At the outset, Yenching University was a merger of three missionary institutions, Peking Hui Wen University, North China Union Women's University and Tong Zhou Union University. They had all been established in the later part of the Qing Dynasty. The proposal of amalgamation was made in 1919 and Leighton Stuart, a professor of Classic Greek and Latin in Nanking Theological Seminary was invited as President.

戆大,司徒雷登
司徒雷登不但成功地运作了汇文和协和大学,还就势把华北协和女子大学和华北协和神学院也吞并了进来,在1919年初成立了不但在中国近代教育史上,在国际上也曾享有盛名的“燕京大学”。(今日提起“燕京”时,人们大多只会想起口味淡淡的啤酒了,惜哉!)
