Mr. A. C. Farmer, B.Sc.
Mr. A.C. Farmer, a former Bancroftian, and, until recently, a lifelong resident of Wanstead, sails this week for the States.
Mr. Farmer lately took his Batchelor of Science degree with Second Class Honours. He was successful in winning the Goldsmith's prize and City and Guilds medal in their examinations this year in electrical engineering, being first among some 2,000 students in England and Wales.
This promising young student will leave England with the best wishes of many families in Wanstead, who have followed with interest the brilliant successes he has so early achieved.

1.
This was a clipping among all the letters that we have. It doesn't give the name of the paper, but I imagine it was the Wanstead Bugle, which was mentioned in a letter from a friend of Kathleen's: Thank you for the descriptions of the places you have seen; did you know that one of your letters to the Mathews’ went into the "Wanstead Bugle"?
2.
Mr. A. C. Farmer, B.Sc.
Cecil's full name was Arthur Cecil Farmer.
When Cecil congratulated Kathleen the following year on her B.A., he said:
I always affirm that the B.A. is much stiffer than the B.Sc.

Mr. A.C. Farmer, a former Bancroftian, and, until recently, a lifelong resident of Wanstead, sails this week for the States.
Bancroft is a school in Woodford Green, which is a couple of miles from Wanstead - the next town over.
I'm putting the date of this document at October 1, shortly before the starting date of Cecil's letter home about his transatlantic journey:
