Career
In 1937, Stillman replaced William Edward Collinson as Director of Research at the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA), which presented Interlingua to the public in 1951. Stillman, who favored a naturalistic approach to interlinguistics, rekindled trust in the impartiality of IALA"s work. When World World War II forced the Association to relocate to New York, Stillman established a new international staff there and led its intensive linguistic research until he obtained a position with the State Department in 1942.
He was succeeded at IALA by Alexander Gode.
Stillman died in New York City after a long struggle with cancer. Foreign more information on East. Clark Stillman, see his biography at the website of the Union Mundial pro Interlingua.
