Dr. Still was the first director of the Chadwick Arboretum and created a living classroom and laboratory. Many of the foundational specimen trees in the Chadwick arboretum collection were planted under his guidance. He viewed the entire campus as an extension of the arboretum and relished when facilities and grounds would add a new tree or shrub anywhere on campus.
