... Following his internship, Carl was drafted into the army as a medical officer and was stationed at the Army Medical Research Laboratory in Fort Knox, Kentucky, where he investigated physiological effects of cold exposure in humans. During his travels at that time he assembled a unique collection of Canadian arctic butterflies that now graces the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale.
