文物特色
      该旗杆座体型稍大,为一六面体石柱,其中一面刻有“献给母校 北京大学一九五二年全体毕业生”字样。

 
历史溯源
      旗杆座筹建于 1952 年,当时 1952 届的毕业生作为新中国成立后北京大学正式毕业的第一届学生,在毕业前集体作出决定:每人从离校后的第一次工资中寄出五毛钱,给新校址建一个旗杆。目的是希望北京大学迁入燕园后的第一面五星红旗从这个旗杆上升起,以此作为给母校的礼物。毕业典礼上,当时的学生代表乐黛云将旗杆模型郑重交给了时任校务委员会主席的汤用彤先生。
 
Distinguishing feature
      The flagpole seat is a larger hexahedron stone column with the inscription " Dedicated to our alma mater-all graduates of Peking University in 1952".
 
History
      The larger flagpole located southeast within the West Gate was set up in 1952. It was donated by the alumni of that year as a gift to the University.
