, the Akademio was proposed by L. L. Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, at the first World Esperanto Congress, and was founded soon thereafter under the name ''Lingva Komitato'' (Language Committee). This Committee had a "superior commission" called the ''Akademio''. In 1948, within the framework of a general reorganization, the Language Committee and the Academy combined to form the Akademio de Esperanto. The Akademio consists of 45 members and has a president, vice presidents, and a secretary. The Academy also elects "Correspondents" -- eminent individuals who are not able to regularly participate in the work of the Academy, but would like to lend their name to it. The Academy is funded by a subsidy from the Universal Esperanto Association and by donations.
