[From the Student chapter manual of the ACM, July '84]:

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) was founded in 1947 as
the society of the computing community. The purposes of the
Association, as stated in the ACM Constitution, are:

1. To advance the sciences and arts of information processing
including, but not restricted to, the study, design, development,
construction, and application of modern machinery, computing
techniques and appropriate languages for general information
processing, for scientific computaion, for the recognition, storage,
retrievel, and processing of data of all kinds, and for the automatic
control and simulation of processes.

2. To promote the free interchange of information about the sciences
and arts of information processing both among specialists and among
the public in the best scientific and professional tradition.

3. To develop and maintain the integrity and competence of individuals
engaged in the practices of the sciences and arts of information
processing.

Maybe someone could post up-to-date information about the current
membership, student chapters and the publications and major
conferences sponsored.
