The eldest of four children born to John J. Caswell and Patience Ethel Smith, he was born in Winnipeg, MB, and at the age of 4 weeks moved (with his parents) to a Temperance Colony at Clark's Crossing, SK. After the drowning death of his younger brother Oliver, the family moved to Saskatoon proper, and in 1905 moved to San Jose, California, where Albert joined them at the end of fall term at Manitoba College. He enrolled at Stanford in mathematics, and received a Ph.D. in physics in 1911. He married Mary Constance Edwards in 1912 in San Jose, California. Together they had four children, three sons and a daughter.
Albert taught first at Purdue University in Indiana and in 1913 began teaching at the University of Oregon in Eugene. In 1919 he received a National Research Council fellowship and used it to study the properties of metals at Palmer Physical Laboratory at Princeton University. In 1932 the family moved to Corvallis because science majors were moved from Eugene to Corvallis. The family returned to Eugene in 1934. In 1942-1945, he was called to work on radar development at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1949 he was retired from the University of Oregon.
