To prof. G. Peano, director of the International Academy of the Universal Language in Turin

Sir!

Following the communication of Mr. Rosenberger, you have given in a letter dated 26 December 1910 your consent for publication of the notices of Grup Neutralparlant in the Academy's journal “Diskussiones”, but you have expressed the opinion that the new name of our society (previously, Zilak Volapüköl and Grup Neutralparlant), “Grup Neutralist,” accepted in a meeting on 28 November, is not suitable, and you propose to give the name “Sosietet de Lingu Universal,” or Akademi de L. U. seksion de S. Petersburg.

The directorate of the group expresses its cordial thanks for the kind acceptance of the named notices, but it must add its opinion that as a corresponding member of the Academy, it has the right to publish freely in Diskussiones every text in an artifical language of one page, according to §4 and 5 of Regulamento.

Regarding the name “Grup Neutralist”, the directorate has the honour to advise you, esteemed sir, that Mr. Rosenberger had proposed to accept the new name “Sosietet de L. U,” but that the general meeting on 28 November did not accept this proposal: it just wanted to express in its name support for the “International Academy of the Universal Language,” and for this reason it adopted in its title the word “Neutral,” i.e. the name of the Universal Language developed by the Academy through many years of diligent labour.

By this name it just wanted to accomplish a certain act of piety or tact in the Academy's favour. On this occasion, the directorate must express its regret that your circulars and the official part of “Diskussiones” of the Academy are not edited in Idiom Neutral, the language of the Academy, which is more understandable than “Latine sine Flexione” because the latter is too Latin. 

The name “Akademi de Lingu Universal, seksion de St. Petersburg,” is totally unsuitable for our group, because (following the statute), it is not a linguistic institute. —

Sincere felicitations on the occasion of the new year!

Best wishes for the success in the Academy's work!

For the president: Vicepresident A. Ramback

Secretary J. Hersch
