Its major purpose, as spelled out in its Constitution, is "to mobilize behind education the full strength of organized alumni support in all of its spiritual, moral, and practical manifesta tions." Membership in the Council is open to universities, colleges and secondary schools in good standing, and to nonprofit associa tions and organizations whose purposes and activities contribute to the advancement of education. As a service organization, the Council aims to help their representatives to increase their professional competence and to raise the le\-el of effectiveness of the alumni and fund- raising programs of its members. It strives also to make the interest of alumni in their own institutions more meaningful and to develop increased understanding and support of education at all levels. PRESIDENT-ELECT James E.
