In 1924 he received a masters degree from New York University. Busse was first appointed as Instructor of Speech and Dramatics at NYU in 1921 and became an assistant professor in 1928. In 1934 he was promoted to Associate Professor and in 1950 to Professor. He worked in the department of Speech and Dramatics for 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Busse worked as Director of the Bureau of Public Occasions for New York University. In that capacity he promoted and organized pubic functions for the university. He continued to serve as the Director of the Bureau of the Public Occasions at NYU until 1942, when he left on military leave to work in the Marine Corps. Busse joined the Marine Corps during the Second World War from 1942 to 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Busse had a longstanding collaborative relationship with Richard Borden, a fellow faculty member at New York University. Busse and Borden wrote a textbook on speech correction. At that time, in 1925 they were co-directors of NYU\u2019s speech clinic. Their \u2019s 1925 text includes a description of several objects that for teaching articulation: \u201cFricator,\u201d \u201cFraenum Fork,\u201d \u201cLadator,\u201d \u201cS-Concentrator,\u201d and \u201cRuvinator.\u201d These were specialized wire tools that were developed by Borden and Busse (1925) at the New York University Speech Clinic. Each tool was designed to teach a particular speech movement. The \u201cFricator\u201d was designed to hold the tongue-tip down. The \u201cLadator\u201d was designed to hold the lower lip down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Writings of Alvin Busse, arranged chronologically<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Borden, R. &amp; Busse, A.
