This paper is adapted from Chapter II of my Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, "Synthetic Food Colors in the United States A History Under Regulation" (1982). I wish to thank my major professor, Aaron Ihde, and the other official readers of the dissertation, John Parascandola and Stanley Schultz, for their helpful suggestions for improving the original draft.

In his interesting Edelstein award lecture, presented at the 224th American Chemical Society Meeting in Boston, MA, in August 2002 and entitled To Bond or Not to Bond Chemical Versus Physical Theories of Drug Action , John Parascandola [8] relates the early history of structure-activity relationships.

Where did The Fitness of the Environment come from and where did L. J. Henderson go with it In spite of the several fields in which Henderson worked, a number of commentators, his contemporaries, and later analysts noted a markedly similar approach in many of his endeavors. Looking back at his work later in life, Henderson himself noted more unity than he had been aware of at the time. His focus was on organization and system the organism, the universe, and society. John Parascandola, the author of a doctoral dissertation and several important articles on Henderson, put it succinctly The emphasis in his work was always on the need to examine whole systems and to avoid the error of assuming that the whole was merely the sum of its parts (1971, p. 63).
