This is the Latin plural of Emeritus. In universities, a professor who has been with that school for many years and is now retired is often awarded the honorary title of Professor Emeritus.

But if we are referring to more than one of these retired professors, we would use the plural for both: Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones are both Professors Emeriti at Harvard University.
