Advancing Science and Elimination of the Use of Laboratory Animals for Development and Control of Vaccines and Hormones: Symposium, Utrecht, November 2001: Proceedings
Animal experimentation plays a major role in the development and control of biological products and large numbers of animals are used for routine batch control. During the past few years considerable attention has been paid to the concept of replacing, reducing and refining (the three Rs) the use of animals for this purpose. This volume contains the proceedings of an international meeting held in Utrecht in November 2001 in which the problems associated with applying the three Rs were discussed. Particular emphasis was given to the validation and regulatory acceptance of in vitro methods and new concepts of quality control. Those issues are important for the scientific community at large as well as manufacturers, regulatory authorities and everyone concerned with animal welfare.

The Rev. Francis Brown (December 26, 1849 – 1916), American Semitic scholar, was born in Hanover, New Hampshire.
He was the son of Samuel Gilman Brown (1813–1885), president of Hamilton College from 1867 to 1881, and the grandson of Francis Brown, whose removal from the presidency of Dartmouth College and later restoration were incidental to the famous Dartmouth College case.
The younger Francis graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover in 1866, from Dartmouth in 1870 and from the Union Theological Seminary in 1877, and then studied in Berlin. In 1879 he became instructor in biblical philology at the Union Theological Seminary, in 1881 an associate professor of the same subject, and in 1890 Davenport Professor of Hebrew and the cognate Languages.
Brown's published works won him an honorary doctorate of Divinity from the University of Glasgow (1901), and a D.Litt. from the University of Oxford, as well as honorary doctorates from Dartmouth and Yale. The works are, with the exception of The Christian Point of View (1902; with Profs. A. C. McGiffert and G. W. Knox), almost purely linguistic and lexical, and include Assyriology: its Use and Abuse in Old Testament Study (1885), and the important revision of Gesenius' Lexicon, undertaken with S. R. Driver and C. A. Briggs — Brown Driver Briggs, A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament (1891–1905).
