The College Entrance Examination Board consists of the president or an authorized representative of each participating college or university and of representatives of the secondary schools.

Representatives of the secondary schools are appointed, in such manner as the association choosing them may direct, by

The New England Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools

The Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States

and Maryland

The Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern States
The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools

Each association may appoint one secondary-school representative for every three colleges and universities that are members of the Board and represented in such association, provided, however, that one representative may be appointed on the admission to the Board of one such college or university, and provided further, that the number of secondary-school representatives appointed by any one association shall in no case exceed five. Representatives of secondary schools may also be appointed directly by the Board to the number of five.

The certificates issued by the Board are accepted by almost every college and university in the United States.

No college which accepts these certificates in lieu of separate admission examinations surrenders its right to enforce such standards of excellence as it pleases,
