University Diaries on December 25, 2016 —
"You could say UD currently sits (she’s in the library
at five AM) at the pinnacle of elitism; you could say
she ain’t climbing any higher than atop this soft
leather chair resting on one of the gargantuan rugs
Galbraith or Galbraith junior brought back from India
or Afghanistan. But it’s only the trappings. What’s
been able to be held in amber. This place is the
genuine Henry James (Harvard Law, 1872):
The affluent society, expansive, sedate; and
the cry of pain almost out of earshot."
Presumably UD means the noted author Henry James.
A fact check does not bear out her "Harvard Law, 1872" remark.
For this Halloween season, a creepy passage from James —

"Magic Squares over Fields" —
— and Conway-Norton-Ryba in this journal.
Some remarks on an order-five magic square over GF(52):
on the numbers 0 to 24:
22 5 18 1 14
3 11 24 7 15
9 17 0 13 21
10 23 6 19 2
16 4 12 20 8
Base-5:
42 10 33 01 24
03 21 44 12 30
14 32 00 23 41
20 43 11 34 02
31 04 22 40 13
Regarding the above digits as representing
elements of the vector 2-space over GF(5)
(or the vector 1-space over GF(52)) …
All vector row sums = (0, 0) (or 0, over GF(52)).
All vector column sums = same.
Above array as two
orthogonal Latin squares:
4 1 3 0 2 2 0 3 1 4
0 2 4 1 3 3 1 4 2 0
1 3 0 2 4 4 2 0 3 1
2 4 1 3 0 0 3 1 4 2
3 0 2 4 1 1 4 2 0 3

From The New York Times this morning —
Where the Journey
is the Destination
A writer finds emotional solace on some of
Norway’s scenic remote roads, which have been
transformed into architectural wonders.
By ONDINE COHANE OCT. 16, 2017
. . . .
"… another project conceived along these routes is
the Juvet Landscape Hotel, designed by the architects
Jensen & Skodvin, and the creepy, if incredibly appropriate
aesthetically, setting for the 2015 film 'Ex Machina.' "
