Death of Dr. Bancroft.
Dr. Cecil F. P. Bancroft, Principal of Phillips Andover Academy, died at his home in Andover on Friday. His health had been failing for some time, and he was unable to assume his duties on the opening of the school this fall.
Dr Bancroft was born at New Ipswich, N. H., in 1839. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1860, and from the Andover Theological Seminary in 1867. In 1873 he was appointed to the position at the academy, which he filled until his death.
Funeral services will be held in the Theological Seminary Chapel at 2.30 this afternoon.
