A red flag with the logo and name in yellow was used by a team summiting
Mount Everest. The black markings on the flag appear to be writing, and are
likely not to be a part of the actual flag.

Proportions 2:3 or
1:2.
The correct English name still is Peking University.
The seal of
Peking University was designed in 1917 by renowned writer Lu Xun, while the flag
was designed by Cai Yuanpei, President of Peking University from 1916 to 1927.
According to Cai, the red-blue-yellow tricolour represents the sciences,
specifically 'phenomenal science' (physics, chemistry. etc.), 'occurring
science' (history, evolution), and 'systemic science' (botany, zoology,
physiology); the white hoist represents philosophy which emcompasses the
sciences; and the black university seal represents 'xuanxue' (metaphysics) which
cannot be proven by science. As the sciences are studied by the most people and
for the most time, followed by philosophy and then 'xuanxue', so does the
tricolour occupy the largest portion of the flag, followed by the white hoist
and then the black seal.
This flag has not been used since 1949. The current
official flag of the university is white, with the modernised version of the
university seal in the upper centre, above Chairman Mao Zedong's writing of the
University's name, both in ruby red; a semi-official version is 'national flag'
red, with the modernised university seal in the canton, above Chairman Mao's
writing of the University's name, both in yellow.

National Southwest Associated University
This institution is affiliated to Beijing University and, from what I can gather,
is probably an autonomous branch campus well on its way toward full independent status.

Now it comes to the unidentified pennant on the webpage.
In 1937, due to
the Sino-Japanese War, Peking University, Tsinghua University and Nankai
University relocated to Changsha and amalgamated as the National Changsha
Provisional University; the following year it relocated again to Kunming and
renamed the National Southwestern Associated University, until it was
de-amalgamated after the war in 1946. The pennant bears the name of the National
Southwestern Associated University.
