addendum:
My father and older brother both graduated from Harvard College. My father took the courses Social Relations 1a and Social Relations 1b at Harvard during the 1948-49 academic year. Sorokin was not teaching them at the time. Social Relations 1a was taught by Gordon W. Allport. Social Relations 1b was taught by George Homans.
I grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a few blocks from Harvard Square.
Professor Harry Aiken is mentioned in one of the Crimson articles. I took a course with Professor Aiken at Brandeis University.
I also took a sociology course with Professor Lewis Coser (not mentioned here) at Brandeis University. He knew Sorokin personally.
