    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In response to the 1929 NCHM survey, Harvard Medical School&rsquo;s Dean David Edsall reported, &ldquo;The men are taught something of the methods of contraception and sterilization during their regular course work, but there is no specific class in it.&rdquo; Dr. Arthur T. Hertig recalled Rock&rsquo;s lecturing about the taboo subject as early as 1928. As these lecture notes illustrate, Rock would occasionally integrate such material into his lectures about primates thus stepping around the legal barriers.]]></dcterms:description>

Rock, who had used hormone treatments to successfully halt ovulation in his infertility patients in 1952, was his choice. The first field trials using the Searle-manufactured hormone were established in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1956. Rock, Pincus, and Celso-Ramon Garica wrote the protocols for the study; Edris Rice-Wray was selected to manage the project on a daily basis. The field trials expanded over the years and involved additional sites in Puerto Rico and Haiti. Clarence J. Gamble, with his associate Adeline Pendleton Satterwaite, followed suit and formed trials in Puerto Rico based on the previous work of Rock, Pincus and Garcia.]]></dcterms:description>

Searle would then seek the approval for the pill as a contraceptive, a non-therapeutic drug. The FDA launched an intense investigation and finally approved the 10mg Enovid pill for contraceptive use in 1960. This early brochure for the contraceptive Enovid was not for patient education, but for medical professionals only.<br />
