They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification
for membership of which was a high intelligent. The original aims were,
as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from
all racial or religious distinctions. The society welcomes people from
every walk of life whose high intelligent is in the top of the population,
with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in
a wide range of social and cultural activities.
