About Bertram Morris
Bertram Morris (1908-1981) was born in Denver. Educated at Princeton and
Cornell, he taught at the University of Colorado from 1947 until his
retirement in 1977. He published books including The Aesthetic Process,
Philosophical Aspects of Culture, and Institutions of Intelligence.
Bertram Morris is remembered as much for his committed involvement in the
social issues of his community as for his scholarly work. In 1953, he began
an outreach program at Manual High School in Denver that still continues.
In 1975, he was given a special award by the American Civil Liberties Union
of Colorado for his efforts on behalf of academic freedom and his work to
improve conditions at the Boulder County Jail.
As an expression of admiration and gratitude, the Philosophy Department
established this colloquium when Bertram Morris retired in 1977.
