JiZ Taylor University Magazine Spring 1985 CELEBRATION SERVICE for the life of WILBUR M. CLEVELAND
August 7, 1924 - April 21, 1985 "
Several years ago I dedicated these words to the work of Will Cleveland: "I hear the scratching of the pen. I see the midnight candle burning low in its socket. And betiding low over his table I see the care-worn editor, straining every nerve, and distorting everyfaculty ofhis mind to crowd his column with productions that shall make us all stare with wonder and amazement. (Lyman Stedman) Those of us who worked with Will know that this typically quiet, rather reserved man was a dedicated servant of God and of Taylor University, who uncomplainingly put as many hours into his work as it detnanded. His own tender conscience acted as a conscience and stabilizingforcefor the Unit >ersity. He brought continuity through his Taylor University Magazine and made it not just a highly respected alumnipublication, but apersonal extension ofhimself and his values as well. Will neverperformed in the limelight (except, of course, uith an occasional reading of what he called his "silly"poems). Hepreferred to do his work quietly, simply carrying out his duties, and staying at the sidelines when accolades were given.
We will miss this man-simply miss his presence in our lives. We will feel it when we walk past his empty office or when we notice one person missing at church gatherings. But most of all we will notice the emptiness in ourselves. Leaving this life has not caused Willpain; he did not die uith regrets that he net er carried out some life-long dream oraccomplished this or thatproject. But his leaving causes us thepain in realizing that Will etnbodied apiece ofour love and affection and respect, a piece of us.
Will was not bigger than life, and it is easy to say complimentary tributes after aperson isgone, but the best tribute to Will is to repeat what others said of him while he was here. Will Cleveland simply was not a man of whom people questioned integrity or motives. He lived what he ivas naturally—a gentle, witty, humble, and caring man-according to what he believed in—integrity and principle and senice before God.
We will miss this flesh-and-blood illustration of the word "gentleness" . . . and none who knew him at all needs to have that explained. Very simply, land so many others will miss Will, but we are thankfulfor the gift ofhating worked and lived and worshipped with him for so many years.

Dr. Daryl Yost Acting President, March 10, 1985
This Acting President will take ACTION! THE TITLE "ACTING" OFTEN CARRIES WITH IT THE THOUGHT of someone with his proverbial finger in the institutional dike or filling in and holding things together on a temporary basis. Or, at worst, a "lame duck" figurehead who tries to do whatever he can until a permanent leader is selected. If there have ever been any such eras in Taylor's past, Dr. Daryl Yost's term will not be among them—you can be assured of that! There was absolutely no doubt in the minds of the Board s of Trustees (and those on the campus who have worked closely with him), that Daryl is the one clear choice to serve as acting president. Several (of many) observations support this conviction: £* • Daryl "works smart." He is Christ-motivated and self-ener- gizing and pours himself into his work. He loves Taylor and he loves serving at Taylor. He definitely is not the high strung Type "A" person. Rather, he reflects the demeanor of a well-ordered life with stability born of established priorities and strong faith. He also practices the art of listening carefully, and speaking softly, deliberately and firmly. • Both Daryl and Joenita Yost are devout believers. They are long time * members of the Missionary Church Association and maintain their membership at Grabill, Indiana. Daryl regularly challenges his staff to remember special concerns in prayer and is himself a man of prayer. • Despite his soft spoken demeanor, Daryl is very sociable, genuinely inter- ested in people and their personal concerns, and makes friends and acquaintances very easily. Part of his conversation with staff members usually includes questions about the welfare of various Taylor alumni and friends. • He is both humble and confident. He does not measure the exercise of personal influence in terms of the number of changes he can make. Daryl is a forthright decision maker, but only after weighing the available data from the appropriate sources. He solicits and welcomes advice and opinions of members of his staff in the decision making process. • Daryl is goals directed. But his experience and common sense keep the goals realistic. Expectations of employees are mature, challenging, and reasonable. • He has the facility to grasp the basic issues and the "big
picture" of a problem so as to deal with it in terms of the best interests of the University.
If I were to characterize Daryl in a few simple words they would be, genuine, honest, caring, sincere, gifted in administration, and zealous for Taylor and the work of the Lord. Without doubt, this Acting President will wield a strong, beneficial influence for Taylor.
