To earn his degree, Ernest first attended City College of New York and then Columbia University.<\/p>\n<p>But in 1914, World War I was in full swing. To contribute to the war effort, Ernest became a member of the committee on Census and Inventory of Military Resources.

He was the Board&#8217;s treasurer from 1947 to 1950. He was a Freemason, and a member of the Rotary Club.<\/p>\n<p>In 1950, Ernest inaugurated his career as a politician. He was elected on the Democratic ticket to represent New York&#8217;s First District in the 82nd Congress.
