The class of 1918 provided the first permanent flagpole on the Hill. In the summer of 1940, an 80-foot flagpole (the highest in the vicinity) was erected. The flagpole was lowered to 40 feet as part of the 2004 relandscaping of the Hill. The 2009–10 renovation replaced the flagpole but retained the 40-foot height.
