This paper examines the role of Wu Yi-fang in the registration process at Ginling College. It explores the initial resistance exhibited by the missionary faculty and the Ginling College Committee toward registration, contrasting it with their subsequent change in attitude following the 1927 Nanking Incident. This incident forced Ginling to adhere to government regulations, appointing Wu Yi-fang as the Chinese president of the college. Through her exceptional negotiation strategies, Wu not only ensured Ginling’s smooth registration and prosperity after the political upheaval but also successfully claimed decision-making authority for herself. This paper argues that Wu’s contributions to Ginling’s registration demonstrate how Christian schools and liberal education played a significant role in nurturing the development of Chinese female leaders and preparing them for leadership roles. Simultaneously, these institutions benefited from the achievements of their graduates. Full article
