Chancellor Emerita Dr. Frances Bartlett Kinne, who passed away on May 10, 2020, at
the age of 102. Known for her unquenchable optimism, her joy for life and her selfless
service to others, Dr. Kinne was a guiding star for us at the University. Throughout
her tenure and until her final days, Dr. Kinne was most proud of her connection with
students, hundreds of whom she counseled and inspired year after year.
19th Amendment Exhibit
Daily | Swisher Library
2020 was the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
which guarantees and protects the right to vote for women. It commemorates the long
struggle for women’s rights which continues to this day. The history of this milestone
of our democracy and its relevance to the issues of equal rights today are depicted
in an exhibit which has been on display at hundreds of public venues across the country.
Created and sponsored by the American Bar Association and Law Library of Congress
under the leadership of JU COL Dean Nick Allard in order to promote civic legal education,
the traveling exhibit is now part of the permanent collection of the COL library for
viewing by the JU community and the people of Jacksonville.
