William E. Macaulay WG68, 74, died on November 26 of a heart attack. Alongside fellow investor John Hill, he built energy-focused private equity firm First Reserve into a renowned buyout operation and, in 2006, gifted $30 million with his wife, Linda, to the City University of New York’s honors college. Following the donation, the college was renamed the William E. Macaulay Honors College. The couple’s gift is one of the largest in CUNY’s history. Bill is survived by Linda; daughters Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis and Anne Macaulay; and two grandchildren.
