AMHERST Robert S. Feldman says he and his wife would have preferred to remain anonymous, but the advantages of letting people know about their gift outweighed the quality of humility.
“We were ambivalent about making our names public, but we were encouraged to let other people know this happened. It might serve as an example that would cause others to donate, too,” Feldman said after he and his wife, Katherine E. Vorwerk, committed $1.225 million to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
