Considered a distinguished teacher, he had a strong social commitment beyond education to molding the lives and character of his students. Early lifeBhogishayana was born in Mysore on June 1, 1926 in an orthodox Hindu family. He was the youngest of 9 children. Subjected to strict discipline, he had to concentrate on his studies from a very young age. This led to the Purna Krishna Rao Gold Medal for being at the top of his graduating class in English for his M.A. from the University of Mysore. Professional lifeEarly in his career, Bhogishayana was a lecturer in English at various colleges in Mysore, Bengaluru, Belgaum and Solapur. His professional career took off in Solapur at Sangameshwar College. He began as a lecturer at Sangameshwar College in 1953 and was promoted to principal in 1960. Considered one the finest teachers in English, he grew the college into one of the best academic institutions in the region in his role as the principal. He ran the college with an iron fist. Feared and revered, the students nicknamed him “Boss”. An intellectual himself, he valued students who were athletes but mediocre in their studies. He knew and remembered the names and backgrounds of nearly 75% of the more than 6000 students in the college. He remained a mentor and guide to many of them throughout his life. Bhogishayana was awarded the Ideal Teacher Award for College and University Teachers by the Government of Maharashtra in 1976-77. Even as a principal, he got involved in the work of university administration. He first served on the Academic Council of Pune University followed by several positions on the Senate and several Boards of the University. At Kolhapur University, Bhogishayana was elected the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, which led to him serving as the Interim Vice-Chancellor in 1973, 1979 and 1980. He also served on the Senate, and presented the budget in spite of being on the Arts Faculty. Bhogishayana was eventually appointed as the Vice-Chancellor of Kolhapur University in 1983.[1] He retired at the end of his term in 1986. Under his leadership, the university grew to add management institutions, improve the finances and address the complexities of staffing the institution. Bhogishayana counted educators, politicians, artists and industrialists among his students. IncidentIn year 1968-1969, students were striking against the unfair rules of the university examination system and were rallying in Sangameshwar College. Police in riot gear were threatening the students who were inside. Bhogishayana stood at the college gate informing the armed police that they would have to get past him before they got to the students. This made a tremendous impression on the students, making the incident and the man legend among student circles for generations at the college.
