The flag was lowered to give place to the 'Stars and Stripes' on July 11, 1846, when it was learned that the United States had declared war against Mexico. The flower represents the Eschscholtzia or California Poppy, which has been adopted by the Legislature of California as the state flower.

-When [[Memorial Hall|Memorial Hall ]]was built in 1905 a time capsule was placed in the cornerstone of the building. The time capsule was assembled by [[Bell Center|President Hill Bell]] and Dean Haggard on September 28, 1905. The time capsule was a small tin box filled with numerous different items that reflect on Drake's past. The time capsule remained unopened for 90 years. But in 1996 Memorial was razed and the time capsule was removed and inspected. Mark Chambers and Don Bliss removed the time capsule from the cornerstone on May 23, 1996. Don Adam, executive assistant to the president, was present at the unveiling of the time capsule and he said, "What honorable, wonderful, intelligent and educated people they were to preserve what went into this building. It was a wonderful tribute to the University." <span style="font-size: 80%; vertical-align: super;">[1]</span>
