Born on Cañon (Canyon) City, Colorado , Allen was educated at Brown University . After serving in World War I he took a position at Washington University in St. Louis until, in 1923, he was appointed to the chair of anatomy at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri . Ten years later he was appointed to the chair at Yale University .
At Missouri, he began his studies of sex hormones . While it was commonly believed at the time that the female reproductive cycle was controlled by substance in the corpus luteum ovum , leading to his discovery of estrogen, though it was identified six years later by Adolf Butenandt .
Allen died of a heart attack in 1943 while on duty with the United States Coast Guard .
