The Imperial University of Peking started from its early beginnings at the Red Building in downtown Beijing in 1898, with less than a hundred students and a single location.
It was in 1912, following the Revolution of 1911, that the University adopted its present name, Peking University.
As the successor of the supreme imperial college and precursor of modern Chinese universities, Peking University stood at the center of China's New Culture Movement, formed as the cradle of the May 4th Movement, which advocated democracy and science in China in the early 1900's. It was also a pioneer in enrolling women students in 1920.
Now, the University has grown to four campus, the main in Beijing covering 2.7 square kilometers, Beijing Health Science Center (formerly known as Beijing Medical University) incorporated in year 2000), Chang Ping Academic Research Center and Shenzen Graduate School. The University currently has about 36,000 students.
