Today’s “journalists” aren’t worthy to shine Ernie’s shoes.
Pyle was from Dana, Indiana, in Parke County where Mrs. henkster’s family is from. Pyle was a semester short of graduation at Indiana University when he left for his career. The IU School of Journalism is located in Pyle Hall.
I don’t know how many of the kids studying there know why Pyle Hall has that name, but the IU does give him credit on their website:

It is actually a very nice tribute. Pyle Hall is the only building on campus named in honor of a student.
Go IU! Fight! Fight! Fight!
