文物特色
      未名湖南岸的慈济寺山门东西两侧有一对旗杆座。这对旗杆座形制相同,均为石质。上部呈须弥座形,上枭混部饰叶纹,腰部饰覆仰莲瓣,中夹连珠纹,下枋饰云纹;下部为正方形体,一面有铭文“一九三四班留校纪念”;上下部之间有铁箍一周。

 
历史溯源
      据铭文,这对旗杆座应为燕京大学 1934 班学生毕业时赠给母校的纪念物。
 
Distinguishing feature
      On the south bank of the Weiming Lake and on both sides of the gate of the Ciji Temple stand a couple of flagpole seats. Both are made of stone with the same structure. The upper part is in the shape of a sumeru pedestal, of which the upper cyma is decorated with leaf patterns, the suyao with inverted and upward lotus petal patterns mixed with linked-pearl patterns in the middle, and the lower fillet and fascia with cloud patterns. The lower part is cubic. On one side there is the inscription “Souvenir of Class 1934”. Between the upper and lower part is an iron hoop.
 
History
      Judging from the inscription, this pair of seats must be a gift to the University by Class 1934.
