History
The Campus Antiwar Network was created on January 17, 2003 by delegates from over 70 colleges and universities at twin conferences at George Washington University and San Francisco State University. Its purpose was opposition to the planned invasion of Iraq.
Because it is decentralized, CAN's size and impact do not necessarily correlate with its national events and organizations, but the group's history can be tracked roughly by its national conventions.

—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
