Individual evidence

  1. ↑ On the Sanderson website of the American Sociological Association (ASA) he is referred to as the 31st President, but so is Stuart Alfred Queen , who was before him . The successor President George Andrew Lundberg is named by the ASA as the 33rd official. Thus there is likely to be an oversight by the ASA.
