Development of morale in the United States Navy

Abstract

It is with a deep sense of humility that I offer this dissertation on morale. Only a professional officer would have the temerity to deal so brashly with a concept so abstract to most laymen. It suggests the enthusiasm of the medieval clergy who debated the number of angels who could dance upon the head of a pin. But if only a small part of a candlepower is added to the light that is being cast these days on man's behavior, then some useful purpose will have been served.
