The Classical Association of the Middle West and South (CAMWS) was founded at the University of Chicago in 1905. Its territory consists of 31 midwestern, western and southern states, and three Canadian provinces. The organization has about 1600 members, primarily secondary-school teachers and college and university professors of Classical Greek and Latin. Individual memberships are $45/year; special rates are available for students and retirees. A lifetime membership is $900.
The Annual Meeting of CAMWS takes place in the spring, traditionally the week after Easter. The 104th Annual Meeting will be held in Tucson, AZ, on April 17–19 2008, at the Marriott University Park Hotel, at the invitation of the University of Arizona.
