	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The French Academy
		At the head of the Academy were three officers: a director, to preside at its meetings; a chancellor, to have the custody of its archives and the seal; a perpetual secretary, to prepare its work and keep its records.
		Twenty-four members were elected to the French Academy before they were twenty-three years of age; twenty-three were at least seventy years of age before their reception took place; fifteen died before reaching the age of forty-five; eighteen were about ninety years old when they died and two lived to be almost centenarians.
		In 1663, at the suggestion of Colbert, Louis XIV appointed a committee of four members of the French Academy charged with the duty of furnishing legends and inscriptions for medals.

		The origins of the academy were in a coterie of literary men who met informally in Paris in the early 1630s to discuss rhetoric and criticism.
		The suppression of the academies in 1793 ended the French Academy; it reappeared in the second class of Napoleon's Institut (1803), and the old name and organization were “restored” in the first division of the Institut of 1816.
		But not all omissions from the academy roster are attributable to literary criteria, for personal respectability and loyalty to the existing state have always been conditions of membership.

	The French Academy of Sciences, 1666-91
		The Academy was administered by Colbert (and later by Louvois) as part of the Bâtiments du roi, a vast department of which he was surintendant, whose wide-ranging responsibilities extended from massive projects like the building and upkeep of royal châteaux down to occasional payments for labour and materials.

		The Academy's Observatory was subsequently built on the rue du Faubourg St.Jacques to the south of Paris and was largely finished by 1672.
