One of the highlights of his career was his appointment as the first Dean of the newly formed University of Georgia Graduate School in 1910.

He was born in 1865, the son of a prominent Presbyterian clergyman. He attended school in Lexington, Virginia, and at the Kemper School in Boonville, Missouri. Bocock entered Hampden-Sydney College in 1881. He graduated in 1884 with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Letters. After his graduation from Hampden-Sydney he spent a year at the University of Virginia and obtained diplomas in Latin and Greek.
