On this day in 1946, the High IQ Club was formed from 12 St John Street, Oxford. It quickly changed its name to Mensa. Lancelot Ware, a founding member, was a student at Lincoln College at the time. Ware was to leave the society in 1950 over disagreements with his co-founder over social policy, but returned in the 1960s, when he was welcomed back by Mensans keen to portray a less controversial version of their own past.
