His thesis titled Herder and the Foundations of German Nationalism, which he submitted in partial fulfillment for his Ph.D. degree conferred by Columbia University, also became his first published work in 1931.
He died in 1978 in St. Clare’s Hospital in Manhattan after a long illness aged 80. He is buried at Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery, Middle Village, Queens County, New York, alongside his wife of 53 years, Mildred Ergang (née Overbeck, 1898-1990).view less
