A WORD FROM THE EDITOR
UN MOT DU RÉDACTEUR

From the Editor / Du rédacteur

I prepared this special issue for the two positions announced below, but I take this opportunity to welcome new members (who are always numerous at this time of year). If you have not yet joined, have a look at the membership page on the CAC website (note that it is uploading very slowly, but we're working on that). Beside regular, life, and institutional memberships, two new categories were created a year ago: "Classics Enthusiast" and "Pre-university Teacher". They are only $25 each!

You can access the regular March issue of the Bulletin, posted on the Ides, by following this link.

Cette livraison spéciale du Bulletin a été préparée pour les deux postes annoncés ci-dessous, mais j'en profite pour accueillr les nouveaux membres, toujours assez nombreux à cette période-ci de l'année. Si vous n'êtes pas membres, consultez la page "Devenir membre" sur le site de la Société (le téléchargement est très lent, mais nous souhaitons rectifier cette situation prochainement). Si les catégories traditionnelles ne s'appliquent pas à vous, pourquoi ne pas considérer joindre en tant que "passionné(e) des études classiques" ou comme "enseignant(e) au pré-universitaire"? Chacune de ces catégories ne coûte que 25 $.
