About Ginling College Campus
The campus of Ginling College, a Christian women's college founded in 1913, built in 1922–23 to a plan by the American architect Henry Murphy, with Chinese palace-style buildings in reinforced concrete set symmetrically around a great lawn and linked by covered walkways. During the Nanjing Massacre of 1937–38 the acting head, Minnie Vautrin, turned the campus into a refuge for thousands of women and children. Since 1952 it has been the Suiyuan campus of Nanjing Normal University.
