Museums	The Center for Applied Christian Ethics (CACE) supports the mission of Wheaton College by promoting and encouraging the formation of moral character and the application of biblical ethics to contemporary moral decisions. The Marion E. Wade Center is a special collection of the books and papers of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. These writers are well-known for their impact on contemporary literature and Christian thought; together they produced over four hundred books. Recently moved to its own building on the northwest edge of campus, the Center houses more than 14,000 books including first editions and critical works, and more than 2,300 volumes from C.S. Lewis' personal library. Other holdings include letters, manuscripts, audio and video tapes, artwork, dissertations, periodicals, photographs, and related materials. Any of these resources may be studied in the quiet surroundings of the Kilby Reading Room. In addition, the Wade Center has a museum where such pieces as C.S. Lewis' wardrobe and writing desk, Charles Williams' bookcases, J.R.R. Tolkien's desk, Pauline Baynes' original map of Narnia, and a tapestry from Dorothy L. Sayers' home can be seen. Photographs, rare books and manuscripts, and other small items of memorabilia round out the displays. An international study center, the Wade Center was established in 1965 by Dr. Clyde S. Kilby, and later named after Marion E. Wade, founder of The ServiceMaster Company, L.P. SEVEN: An Anglo-American Literary Review has been published by the Wade Center since 1980. As a forum for both the general and the specialized reader, SEVEN prints articles and reviews relating to all of the Wade Center authors. WETN and Broadcast Services produce programming distributed on Wheaton College Radio, WETN-FM, and Wheaton College Cable, WETN-TV, and the Internet. Of special interest are Chapel Services, sporting events, and selected Conservatory concerts. The Morning Radio Show features campus guests, artists, and speakers. Archived programs as well as current schedules are available at www.wetn.org.
