His research focused on the effects of temperature exposure, high-altitudes, diet, age and fatigue on the human body. Dill received his bachelor's degree from Occidental College in Los Angeles, California and both his master's and doctoral degrees from Stanford University in Stanford, California.

He began his physiology career at Harvard’s Fatigue Laboratory in its inaugural year, 1927. While working at Harvard, Dill led a research trip to Southern Nevada after he discovered at least sixteen men had died of heat exhaustion in one year while working on the Hoover Dam project.

Dill and his team quickly discovered the workers suffered because of a loss of salt due to excessive perspiration while laboring. Dill’s cure was to add higher amounts of salt to workers’ diets which resulted in no further deaths related to heat exhaustion during the Hoover Dam project.
