I am intrigued, what is ACM?

[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.

I don't have my latest CACM handy; could someone post the ACM pledge that we all signed when we joined ACM? -- John Kohl <jtkohl@MIT.EDU> Digital Equipment Corporation/Project Athena (The above opinions are MINE.
