Les Imortals, I think they call them. I don't know what the real name of the institution is, but once someone it appointed to the board they are on it for life. I believe it was started during the French Revolution and I'm pretty sure they just recently curbed the term 'email'.
I await correction/calification from the appropriate source. UE? |
