As the war moved farther north and west, Fred improved his time exploring this large and interesting island. Under French rule the natives have been brought to an approximation of western civilization, and the aboriginal, cannibal culture of the island is a thing of the past. But, Fred, who has returned to Richmond to complete his studies at the Medical College of Virginia, is an inveterate and a trained collector. Starting at the age of twelve, he had cut his teeth on beetles, butterflies, stamps, coins, and arrowheads, encouraged and guided by sympathetic parents. Where ninety-nine percent of the many thousands of servicemen who saw duty on New Caledonia probably sent back grass skirts and sea shells, Fred Morgan sent back as complete, representative and selective a collection of the nearly extinct culture of that island as exists today in this country. The intelligence, energy, persistence, and resource that went into the formation of this collection was probably matched only by the pleasure he got out of it.

The VMFA currently has 23 objects that Morgan had donated over the years. In November-December of 1946, some of Morgan's collection was featured in the VMFA's exhibition \"Souvenirs from the Pacific,\" a showcase of objects collected by Virginians in the Pacific theatre of World War II.

But, Fred, who has returned to Richmond to complete his studies at the Medical College of Virginia, is an inveterate and a trained collector. Starting at the age of twelve, he had cut his teeth on beetles, butterflies, stamps, coins, and arrowheads, encouraged and guided by sympathetic parents. Where ninety-nine percent of the many thousands of servicemen who saw duty on New Caledonia probably sent back grass skirts and sea shells, Fred Morgan sent back as complete, representative and selective a collection of the nearly extinct culture of that island as exists today in this country. The intelligence, energy, persistence, and resource that went into the formation of this collection was probably matched only by the pleasure he got out of it. The Museum of Natural History in New York has asked for various objects from it to improve their own collection.
