Andover (Phillips Academy) is a shack that Samuel Phillips built with the money of his rich uncle, John Phillips under the condition that his school, Andover, would be a good ROUGH DRAFT for Phillips Exeter Academy.
Using Andover, which turned out to be a fairly good ROUGH DRAFT, John Phillips invested his own money (unlike is poor nephew) to build his own school and called it Phillips Exeter Academy. It's the final draft of what Samuel Phillips initially started with his uncle's money.

OH WOW! ANDOVER LOOKS LIKE A ROUGH DRAFT OF EXETER! I WONDER WHY!
Mommy, why are Exeter and Andover both called Phillips Academy when Andover was built 3 years earlier?
Honey! It was built as a rough draft for Exeter! Exeter's the final draft in every aspect!
Exeter is to Andover as final draft is to rough draft.
