The white-tail deer was born to a surrogate mother on May 23, and was unveiled at the university’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
Dewey is the genetic equal of a buck whose cells were fused with ovaries from does, said Westhusin, the AandM professor who served as lead investigator on the project.
Dewey was raised by humans because Sweet Pea rejected the animal after scientists took it to be cleaned after birth, she said.

The cloned animal, a fawn named Dewey, was born to a surrogate mother several months ago, but was only certified as a genetic clone of a donor through a recent DNA analysis, researchers at Texas A and M University said.
Dewey is thought to be the first such deer clone and could ultimately be useful in conserving endangered deer species, including the Key deer of Florida, researchers said.
White-tailed deer are the most abundant, wide-spread big game animal in North America, but cloning could be a used in certain circumstances to preserve the genetics of superior animals who have died of natural causes or have been hunted, the researchers suggested.

 Deer Successfully Cloned -- Beliefnet.com
If Dewey is a carbon copy of his genetic "father," as the researchers claim their DNA analysis shows, he could grow to be a prized animal that more than satisfies the quest for a big rack.
Dewey, named for Dr. Duane (Dewey) Kraemer, a member of the research team, was a joint project between A&M and Viagen Inc., a company that specializes in animal genetics.
The deer was cloned from cells in the skin of the donor, whose scrotum was sent to the A&M college shortly after he was shot in hopes that researchers could save some of the semen.

 Brian Deer Classification System
To learn about how the Brian Deer classification system stands up to daily use, we met with Ann Doyle, Acting Head Librarian.[28] Doyle has been at Xwi7xwa since 1996, but was originally hired as a systems librarian to oversee the integration of Xwi7xwa's collection into the UBC library system and catalogue.
Dewey Decimal Classification might be more appropriate for libraries that have varied collections, without a specific First Nations focus - for example, some reserve libraries support both the social action of their community and the general reading and information needs of a range of children and adult users.
But because the Brian Deer classification system was developed in the 1970s, prior to the establishment of a critical mass of First Nations scholars, this type of First Nations scholarship does not really fit into the schedule.

Progressive education (both as espoused by Dewey, and in the more popular and inept forms of which Dewey was critical) was essentially scrapped during the Cold War, when the dominant concern in education was creating and sustaining a scientific and technological elite for military purposes.
Deweys writings can be difficult to read, and his tendency to reuse commonplace words and phrases to express extremely complex reinterpretations of them makes him unusually susceptible to misunderstanding.
Dewey, in contrast, while honoring the important role that religious institutions and practices played in human life, rejected belief in any static ideal, such as a theistic God.

 Brian Deer Classification System
Underlying the Brian Deer system is a critique of library classification, though Deer himself never committed one to writing.
It seems clear that Deer concluded, as Hope Olson puts it, that classification always gathers, juxtaposes and scatters knowledge, and that in the case of First Nations, traditional classification systems do this in a way that is detrimental to First Nations collections and access to them.
To Deer, and to librarians in the field with whom we spoke, First Nations knowledge is made peripheral and marginal (in Olson's terms) by both Library of Congress and Dewey.
