This is an old post and I don't remember what source I might have used to grab the info. I know I didn't do very deep research for this post though. I certainly wasn't anywhere near an original source for Greenough's words. Thanks for the extra info. This is an old post and I don’t remember what source I might have used to grab the info.

He didn't state "Form Follows Function," nor did Sullivan, if I remember correctly. Sullivan, & Wright after him, insisted that "Form & Function Are One." More comprehensively, Greenough had an intriguing 3-fold concept linking beauty to natural health or fitness-to-purpose, of any organism , which began, "Beauty is the promise of function." The middle statement was (very approximately), "Ripeness/maturity is the presence of function." The 3rd component was, "Character is the record of function." Leading examples were strong, healthy animals, as intrinsically beautiful. Some interpret his use of "function" as "life-purpose," or a similar concept. Let me know if you find Greenough's actual words. Thanks in advance, Michael Hoping we could locate the actual source of Greenough’s words, if you know the original essay (I’ve lost track…).
