It is my sad duty to record here the death on June 25, 1914, of Dr. 
F. W. True, the Assistant Secretary in charge of Library and Ex- 
changes. Dr. True was in charge of the exchanges a little over three 
years, having been appointed June 11, 1911. His official connection 
with the Institution, however, dates from 1881. During his in- 
cumbency Dr. True took special steps to increase the efficiency of the 
Exchange Service. Recently he addressed communications to the 
chiefs of the various foreign exchange bureaus and establishments 
acting as distributing agencies, requesting them to furnish him with 
certain statistical information regarding the exchanges carried on 
under their supervision for use in connection with the preparation 
of an article on the present condition of the International Exchange 
Service throughout the world which he had under way. 
Respectfully submitted.

Chief Clerk International Fxchange Service.
