Bauer (1899-1988), a graduate of Adelbert College (1924), Western Reserve University Law School (1926), and Western Reserve University School of Applied Social Science (1936), was a social worker at the Hiram House Social Settlement in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1923 through 1938. He retired to Niles, Michigan.
The George P. Bauer Correspondence, 1975-1976, consists of correspondence between Bauer and John J. Grabowski, a history doctoral student at Case Western Reserve University, about Bauer's experiences during his time at Hiram House.
