	History - Australian Mensa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Englishman was Lancelot Ware, at the time a mature student at Oxford, who was later to gain a string of qualifications in science and the law.
		Ware is credited with the idea of Mensa, but it was Berrill who "founded" the society in the usual sense, on 1 October 1946.
		Dr Lancelot Ware dropped out of Mensa for many years but later rejoined and was a member until his death in 2000, with the title "Fons et Origo" from his claim that the original idea was his.

		Ware's father, who had invented and produced one of the first forms of artificial leather, lost his patents and business to unscrupulous partners and died while Ware was still a young but brilliant student, leaving him to raise his sister and oversee her education alone.
		Ware was additionally called to Oxford t study law, and became a successful and respected Barrister (lawyer) specializing in property, copyright, and patents, choices that perhaps hearkened back to those areas that had ruined his father.
		Ware received what may have been his longest withheld award in 1987, when, after years of dispute due to Roland Berrill, he was at last credited as the originator of the idea for Mensa and presented the title "Fons et Origo".

		Then the monster sprang towards him with gaping jaws, as it were fain to swallow him, and Lancelot watched his chance, and thrust his sword into its mouth, and clave the heart in sunder, and the beast gave a cry so terrible that 'twas heard a good two mile off.
		That cowardly and wicked knight, he came even to Sir Lancelot's side, and snatched stealthily at his sword, and sprang backward and smote at him, wounding him so that he fell as one dead.
		When the false traitor saw this he deemed that he was dead, and left him lying, and went there, where the monster lay, and smote off the right foot, thinking to take it to the maiden of whom I have told ye, that he might therewith win her to wife.

		Along with Berrill, Ware, who died on Aug. 15, had stumbled upon a charming and in their view commonsensical idea -- a no-brainer, you might say: that the world should be run not by the well-born or the well-connected but by a scientifically selected aristocracy of the smart.
		Mensa's fortunes have since revived somewhat, starting in the early 60's, thanks largely to the zeal of Ware and Victor Serebriakoff, whose I.Q. was at least 161 and who also died last year, on Jan 1.
		Two years before Berrill and Ware's brainstorm, the British Education Act mandated universal schooling through age 16 and instituted a battery of I.Q.-based exams, the 11-plus, aimed at sorting schoolchildren according to their cognitive abilities.
