The bulk of the Committee Records series consists of correspondence of John Baur with other Lutheran pastors coordinating their efforts against the school amendments. Most of this correspondence is dated 1921-1922, though some of the letters do date from both the 1920 and 1924 campaigns.

The most substantive document is a notebook containing minutes of the executive board of the Lutheran Campaign Committee for 1920, as well as minutes of the joint meetings of the Committee of Defense and the Executive Committee in Behalf of Our Christian Day Schools for 1920-1924. These minutes are detailed and offer meaningful insight into the strategy and activities of the Lutheran Church in its defense of its school system.

The clippings are arranged chronologically. The bulk of them are from the 1924 election.
