He graduated from Colby College in 1923 and startied his professional life as a high school teacher in the state of Maine. He received his Master of Education from Harvard in 1927.In 1933,Harvard also awarded him a Doctor of Education. He taught English at Newton High School until joining the Tufts faculty as an instructor in education in 1927. The following year, he married Ruth Dinsmore. They had one daughter, Kay Grace Tilton. He was named an assistant professor at Tufts in 1933 and associate professor in 1946, attaining full professorship the following year. His administrative positions at the college were extensive. From 1936 to 1955, Tilton served as director of the Department of Education. He also directed graduate studies from 1939 until 1943, when the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences was founded. Tilton became the school's first dean, holding the position until 1953. He was also instrumental in the development of the College of Special Studies and the Summer Session.
