Highlights include correspondence with students in military service (1917-1921); materials relating to the Smith-Hughes Act and problems at the River Falls Normal School as a result of its passage (1917-1929); and correspondence concerning curriculum, faculty and legislation. After 1930 most of the correspondence is of a formal business nature. Included is correspondence concerning Foundation business, arrangements for guest lecturers, development of the Graduate School and the transitions from Teachers College to State College (1957) and from State College to State University (1964). Most of the early correspondence (1911-1930) concerns prospective students (applications, and boarding and employment inquiries, students and recommendations for graduates). Some job applications are included. Correspondence with men in the military, including a list of River Falls Normal students in service dominates the files from 1917-1921.
