...What means this turmoil among the nations? Why do the peoples cherish vain dreams? See how the kings of the earth stand in array, how its rulers make common cause, against the Lord. . . . Princes, take warning; learn your lesson, you that rule the world. Tremble, and serve the Lord, rejoicing in His presence, but with awe in your hearts; kiss the rod, do not brave the Lord's anger, and go astray from the sure path.

Although the psychological pressures that complicate a serviceman's return to academic life have received careful attention from various offices, the pattern of readjustment is not yet clear. For one thing, the veteran finds himself initially bewildered by the sudden array of responsibilities that confront him when he returns to college. The veteran may consider himself fortunate to be clear of that chain of command that formerly made decisions for him. But with the blessing of external freedom has come the impact of an over-severe self-judgment which has focused itself narrowly upon the accepted standards of academic success...
