Henderson was born in 1921 in Chelan, Washington.[1] He attended Whitman College in Walla Walla. He graduated in 1944 as Phi Beta Kappa. He was drafted into the U.S. Army. He was given a choice on whether to learn Chinese or Japanese; he chose to learn Japanese.[2] He attended the U.S. Army Japanese Language School, located at the University of Michigan. At the university he received a bachelor of arts degree in Oriental Studies in 1945. By the time he arrived in Japan, World War II had ended.[3] Under Douglas MacArthur he became the head of censorship of the Army force occupying Hokkaido. After he finished his military service, under the GI Bill, Henderson attended the Harvard Law School. After graduating from there in 1949, he attended the University of California, Berkeley. In 1955 he graduated with a doctorate.[2]
