He received theAIEE Lamme Medal (1933)[3] and theAIEE Edison Medal (1935), for "his distinguished engineering achievements and his pioneer work in the generation, distribution, and utilization of electric energy."[4][5] He also was inducted into the IEEE's Electrical Engineering Hall of Fame. His papers (1886-1939) are held in the Manuscript Division of thePrinceton University Library.[6] In 1898, he was elected to theAmerican Philosophical Society.[7] He was elected as a member of theNational Academy of Sciences in 1921.[8]

Lehigh bestowed the M.S. degree upon him in 1907; Wesleyan, theSc.D. in the same year.[9][10][11] "He is credited with a number of inventions including theStillwell regulator and a time-limit circuit breaker."[12] "Few of the pioneer electrical engineers of the United States contributed as much to the advancement of electrical engineering, and the position of the engineer in public esteem, as did Lewis Buckley Stillwell."[13]
