Background
Harriet Dunn was a friend of Jane Stanford who operated a boarding house for young faculty
on what is now White Plaza. The house was later passed down to her cousin, mathematics
professor Harold M. Bacon '28, MA '29, PhD '33, and his wife, Rosamond '30, MA '32 (a
co-founder of the Stanford Historical Society). In 1997, Stanford bought the house, which is
now the Harold and Libby Ziff Center for Jewish Life.
