Merriam believes that the pendulum has started to swing toward the original situation and that religion is due to return to higher education "as a critical challenge to many superficial tendencies and dogmatisms in higher education itself, and as an unsuppressible effort of the human spirit to know and to act on what is known in behalf of ideals worthy of man's ultimate allegiance." The widespread distribution and study of this brochure would mark an important advance in the establishment of harmonious and purposeful cooperation between education and religion on a permanent basis. The increasingly large number of students who experience such difficulty has created the need in the universities for counselors trained to aid students in resolving their religious problems. An important factor contributing to much of the emotional disturbance and personality maladjustment of college and university students today is the inability of the students to reconcile their adolescent religious philosophies with the hypercritical and skeptical atmosphere of campus.
