Crown Quadrangle was named after Robert Crown, for which the Robert Crown Law Library is named for and is part of this quadrangle. After doing a little online research, I discovered that this library name is often confused with Robert W. Crown, who was a California assemblyman. The Robert Crown who this library is named for was an industrialist and philanthropist whose generous donation to Stanford Law School in the late 1960s enabled the building of Crown Quadrangle which has been Stanford Law School's home since its completion in 1975.
