Mr. Hancock spent his boyhood days on a farm. H2 graduated from Stivers High School, Dayton, Ohio, in 1917, and entered Ohio State University from which he graduated in 1923, after major- . ing in animal husbandry. He earn- |cd a Bachelor of Science degree, ,besldes half credits towards his ‘Master's degree. During his years of University education, Lowell wok an active part in student organ- l izations, including dramatics, music (he was soloist in the nicifs glee | tluh for three years) and track and: country teams. I-Ie was captain of the latter during his senior year. At the tender age of fourteen, Lowell read a story about silver foxes. and in 1915. through an ad- vertisement in ‘The Ohio Farmer’. learned that foxes were being rais- ed in captivity. This started him ,thinkirig about ranching, and dur- ing his years at university, studied all available information on the subiect. Incidentally, it was -his interest in rnllChlllg foxes that Idccided what course at the uni- lversity he would take. for lls- nop- ed to be able to apply the kmwl- edge gained on scientific feeding and breeding to foxes. In i923, he purchased his first foxes from John A. Lee, Summer- side. P.E.I.. and ThUmas Corwin. Michigan, U.S.A. He worked on the Michigan ranch. and later was instrumental ‘n the organization of the Ohio Fox Breeders’ Associa- tion, acting as secretary ior the. first year. In 1924. he purchased; more foxes. this time from Petcrl G. Clark and then spent the first.‘ six months of i925 on Mr. Clarks, ranch at Summerside.
