Harvard Yard may soon blaze forth in all its peacetime glory, as University authorities began to comply with the recently announced Army relaxation of dimout regulations along the Eastern seaboard.

The silhouette of Widener's pillars, long a nostalgic symbol of Harvard's academic prowess, will be an unfamiliar sight to much of the University's student body, service and civilian, who have never known anything but a lightless Harvard.

Chief benefit of the new brown-out regulations to the ordinary, run-of-the-mill Harvard student will be that he need have no guilty feeling of having sunk a ship by forgetting to pull down his window-shades. The popularity of Widener's main reading room is expected to increase tremendously as bleary-eyed students are granted enough light to read by.

There has been no official indication so far whether the House towers are to be lighted again. If they are to be on, it will be the first time since August of 1942 that the Houses have displayed their traditional night-time garb.
