About the Person
Robert Crown Law Library is named in memory of Robert Crown (b. 1921, d. 1969), a business materials and real estate executive. Robert died of a heart attack in 1969 at age 48. He was the first of three sons born to Henry & Rebecca Crown of Chicago, Illinois. Henry Crown (b. 1896, d. 1990) 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. ~source

The Robert Crown Library is often confused with another Crown, that being Robert W. Crown, who was a California assemblyman and passed away in 1973.
