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 Avorld which he had under way. 



Respectfully submitted. 



C. W. Shoemaker, 

 Chief Clerk International Exchange Service. 



Dr. Charles D. Walcott, 



Secretary of the Smitltsonian Institution. 



August 5, 1914.
