Gent was educated at Rossall and then at University College, Oxford, where he took a first in Greats.[2][3] He taught classics at Llandovery College for four years; during that time he was ordained by Basil Jones in 1877.[4] After curacies in Llandovery and Westminster he was a Tutor at Keble College, Oxford, from 1882 to 1887. He was Principal of St Mark's College, Chelsea from 1887 to 1897; and then of St David's College, Lampeter from then until his death.[5]
