Harrison Byington McCawley Jr. ’45

Mac entered Princeton from Valley Forge (Pa.) Military Academy and joined Dial Lodge. His Princeton career was interrupted by service as an Army officer, seeing combat with the 309th Artillery 78th Division in Belgium and Germany. He then commanded POW camps in the Paris area.  

Returning to Princeton in 1946, he graduated cum laude in 1948 with a degree in humanities. It was in Paris that he met Lilette Calothy, whom he married in 1953 when he returned to France after graduating from Harvard Law School.  

Mac worked for four years as an attorney in the Justice Department and then for 20 years as a staff member of the Joint Com-
mittee on Taxation. In 1980, he became a consultant for a Washington, D.C., law firm, where he wrote numerous articles and handbooks on various aspects of taxation that were published by the Bureau of National Affairs. He retired in 2001 to his home in Fort Washington, Md.  

In addition to Lilette, Mac is survived by a daughter, Nicole Reidy; a son, Harrison III; two grandchildren; and his brother, Bill. The class extends its sympathy to the family.
