Additionally, Morse wrote several anthropological books that outlined the physical and physiological behavior of the people of Sichuan and Tibet.

[4] In 1930 Morse was appointed research assistant at the Peabody Museum where he studied the anthropomorphic trends of Chinese and Tibetans for nearly a decade.

Morse thought the story of Chinese Medicine was unique, interesting, very intricate, and needed to be told to the West.

[4] In his book "Tibetan Medicine", Morse outlines the "primitive health practices" performed at the border of Tibet and China.

Morse writes, "The Tibetans believe that a man who has been bad in this life, may cause disease after death… As far as I can discover, medicine is not differentiated from other priestly functions as a separate profession".

In this scientific journal, Morse writes about the geography, political status, typical customs, religion, and the psychology of the people.

[10] Morse writes,"Geographical influences determine to a great extent the characteristics of peoples, and peculiarly so in the regions under discussion… The civilization encourages and creates a religion of superstition and magic, and is it not reasonable that the minds of these primitive folk are filled with the mystery and power and awe of the unseen?

Additionally, Morse published a journal article called "Schedule of Physical Anthropological Measurements and Observations on Ten Ethnic Groups of [Sichuan] Province, West China."

David Crockett Graham believed that, "The measurements [in this article]...Should be of great value to anthropologists, and materially contribute towards a solution of the problem of physical differences between the various ethnic groups in West China".

He noted, " [The] Health and economic conditions are so bad and the medical procedures so diverse and inefficient in China and indigenous practitioners so incapable and unqualified that one can hardly speak or write on the subject impassively.

In 1928 Morse wrote a book entitled "The Three Crosses in the Purple Mists: An Adventure in Medical Education under the Eaves of the Roof of the World."

[11] The creation of the school manifested from the fact that Morse realized that missions in West China were unable to provide educational opportunities.

The mission of the school was," the advancement of the Kingdom of God by means of higher education in West China under Christian auspices".

As Morse noted, "The University suffered from poverty, lack of equipment, deficiency in staff, and inadequate teaching rooms".

In 1924 Morse left West China Union University, and devoted his time writing about the history and practice of Chinese medicine.
