Edit ProfileEducation
He received a formal education in New York, and entered Columbia University as a student in architecture, graduating in 1893. Later he continued training in Beaux Arts Atliers in New York, and during a year of travel and study abroad.
Career
Returning to New York, the youth supplemented his training in draftsmanship for a number of years while employed successively with several architectural firms in the city, and from 1905 to 1912 practiced in New York with various associates. In 1913 he accepted the post of Professor of Architecture at Cornell University, but left there after two years to become Director of the College of Fine Arts at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, where he remained ten years. The concluding and most successful period of his teaching career was at the University of New York from 1926 to 1941. After serving five years as Chairman of the Department of Architecture, from 1931 to 1941 he was Dean of the School. Beginning with an enrollment of twenty- three students, it was increased in the following years to five hundred, and further expanded into the field of Allied and Fine Arts before it was discon¬tinued in 1941, upon Professor Bossange's retirement to private life. Later in that year he left the east to spend his remaining years at San Anselmo, Calif.
