Archbishop John J. Keane (1839–1918)
Bishop of Richmond, Virginia, 1878–1888
First Rector of Catholic University of America, 1888–1896
Archbishop of Dubuque, Iowa, 1900–1911
Born in Ireland, Keane was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 1866. After a stint as Bishop of Richmond, he was appointed by the American bishops to be the first rector of their new university in Washington, D.C. Caught up in the Americanism controversy with his sponsor and ally, Abp. James Gibbons, Keane was ousted from Catholic University and given charge of the see of Dubuque. He resigned that archbishopric in 1911.
