The University of Utah has done us all a great service by placing the Tanner Lectures on one site, free for all to peruse. The Lectures were begun through the funding and efforts of Obert Clark Tanner: “I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behavior and human values.” Tanner came to the university following the founding of the OC Tanner Company, a manufacturer of corporate baubles and awards, and an education at UU, Stanford and Harvard. The Lectures are intended as an elaboration of human values and are awarded to various institutions that may bring a scholar of uncommon achievement and ability. Each Lecture must be delivered unencumbered by copyright and therefore free for all to consume. Sadly, the PDFs appear to be of uneven quality and often lack words and pages.
