IT is BEIJING University ok!!

I believe PEKING comes from the Cantonese or Southern China romanization which was common at that time.
It shouldn't be a big problem as long as the original, i.e the Chinese characters 北京 are correct.
They can always choose to change it later in their own time as everybody knows it is a romanization of its original Chinese name.

Peking and Tsinghua are based on the old romanized version of Chinese pronounciaon. In the pinyin system we use today they are Beijing and Qinghua.
