Upland, Indiana 46989 Office of the President 317-998-5201 July 3, 1985

Dear Friend of Taylor:

It is with great excitement that I announce to you the appointment of Jay L. Kesler as president-elect of Taylor University by the Board of Trustees.

Many of you know Jay as a spiritual leader among evangelical Christians, the president of Youth for Christ/USA, or a classmate at Taylor. Perhaps others of you know Jay as a Christian author, the host of the radio program "Family Forum," or an occasional speaker in Taylor chapel services or during Youth Conference. Please think of him now as Taylor University's President, Jay Kesler.

When Jay assumes the presidency September 1, I will fill a newly-created position, provost/executive vice president. My responsibility will be to manage the internal operations of Taylor University. Jay will be, as he refers to it, the "board on campus," an interpreter for the Board of Trustees to the campus as well as an interpreter for the campus to the Board. In addition, Jay will be Thylor's "servant," a resource for spreading the news about Taylor University's quality, Christian liberal arts education program across the country and beyond.

These changes do not indicate any major alterations in Taylor University's philosophy. Taylor remains the same, fine, evangelical institution. As Jay was presented before a faculty and staff meeting yesterday, Board Chairman John McDougall stressed that "the mission has not changed. The dedication of the faculty and staff has not changed. It's still the same."

Jay and I, as well as the entire Taylor family, ask for your prayers as we seek the Lord's will in building an even stronger Thylor University.

In Christ Jesus,

Acting President dw
