Not sure why Boston keeps adding that Tom Gerety is a "philosopher." I attended Amherst College for 4 years under his stewardship. Not once during that time did anyone I know -- fellow students, administrators, or faculty members -- ever think he was anything more than an intelligent, capable, and honest administrator. Additionally, he has not published any works that are by any means "philosophic." Hegel was a philosopher; Tom Gerety was the President of Amherst College.
