...this week in the Atlantic and Caribbean (see map) are 134 ships, 600 planes, 3,210 officers and 49,445 men of the U. S. Navy. For the purposes of diplomacy, the U. S. Navy's first full maneuvers in the Atlantic since 1934 are described as Fleet Problem...
...Problem XX is more than a fame. Never before, not even when the Navy cavorted in Japan's back yard last year, has the U. S. so frankly marshaled its sea power to deal with specific foes (Germany, Italy) as they would line up in a specific situation. For the armed forces of the U.

No longer merely a joke, the question is worth straightforward consideration...
...will be the responsibility of this course to see that the psychological, juridical, and social aspects of the problem are considered. To this end, the services of men from the medical, law, and other graduate schools must be enlisted. But the Sociology Department is the logical executor of the course; it is best suited to the task of coordinating the various aspects and bringing them into a logical whole. Only when this is done will marriage instruction be raised from the level of a bull session, a matter for ridicule, to the position which is actually warranted by its importance...
