Cape May is one of the most historic spots
along the Atlantic coast. It is America's oldest
seashore resort with the largest accumulation of
Victorian architecture in the country, headquar-
ters of America's Audubon Society, right on the
Atlantic Ocean with the sun and the moon rising
out of the sea and setting across the Delaware
Bay. Six large city blocks at the north end of
Cape May have been zoned by the city for the
College and its future development. The Col-
lege is within a radius of New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, and the
historic points of early America. It is a quiet,
restful, ideal place for study and for students.
The College is free of hippies, yippies, and the
spirit of disobedience and riot which charac-
terizes so many of the institutions of the day.

14. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF
SHELTON?

Many indeed.

Friendships established with classmates from
across the country and around the world will
never be severed, but will add to the depth and
outreach of Christian fellowship throughout all
of life.

Prayer times, both scheduled and unscheduled,
brmg new assurances of God's faithfulness,
strength, and wisdom, and dynamically challenge
the student's faith to seek first the face of God
before looking to the wisdom and strength of
man.

College teams composed of preachers, musi-
cians, and testimonials, along with other week-
end teaching and service ministries, give oppor-
tunity to witness for Christ and share with others
that which has been obtained in study and in the
total college experience.

And the challenge, burden, or vision received
from a class lecture, a personal conversation, a
chapel service, or the total impact of life at Shel-
ton, might be that particular thing that God would
use by the Holy Spirit to take hold of a student's
heart radically, resulting in mighty power and
blessing both to the student, the church, and the
world through our Lord Jesus Christ.
