Do Light it Purple Traditions Continue?

Coming across some archived photos for another thread prompts the following inquiry:

Not sure under which coach it started, but in recent decades the Northwestern Clock Tower would be lit purple after a football win. For those of you with access to campus, is it so lit now after our weekend win?

More recently, at homecoming, it looked like a new tradition was emerging to light the iconic Deering Library purple for homecoming. As seen in my photo below from a homecoming past, has that tradition continued as well?

I believe the clock tower tradition started during the 1995 season, so that would have been under Coach Barnett. Although I'm not sure if that was the athletics department making the call or someone from administration suggesting it.

I don't remember the clock tower being lit purple during the 1993 or 1994 seasons.

Beautiful photos, btw!
