Description
An account of the resource
The Clarence J. Gamble Archive in the Countway Library of Harvard Medical School is a major collection of correspondence and related materials devoted to the subject of population control. Dr. Gamble has been ranked along with Margaret Sanger and Dr. Robert L. Dickinson as one of the three major figures in American birth control during its most crucial years of change. Gamble was an indefatiguable letter-writer and his correspondence is a rich source of day-to-day information about what was going on with the development and testing of contraceptive methods, changing attitudes of the medical and health professions, legislative reform and education of the public, governmental involvement on local and national levels, and demographic studies in the Third World after the post-World War II population explosion.
Dr. Gamble's papers were presented to the Countway Library in 1970 by his wife Sarah, and the Gamble children. The vast collection (estimated at well over 100,000 pieces) has been processed over a period of years and is now contained in a total of 266 manuscript boxes, plus addenda. Highlights of Dr. Gamble's career are given in the accompanying chronology, which is followed by a list of his publications and outline of the archive's arrangement. A detailed folder-by-folder description of the papers makes up the main body of this Inventory, and there is a selected index of correspondents at the end.

We have now analyzed various data obtained in this project over a 30 month period. In addition, we have similar data from three additional projects; two were established in Puerto Rico in a more rural area than San Juan, namely Humacao, under the overall supervision of Dr. Adeline Pendleton; the other was established at Port-au-Prince in Haiti under the supervision of a committee consisting of Drs. F. Laraque, R. Nicolas, and R. Borno. Information on the date of initiation of each project, the numbers of subjects, and the number of steroid medication cycles recorded is listed in Table 1.”</em> <em></em>

Infertility
Description
An account of the resource
This is one of the first articles to publish results from the early study at the Free Hospital for Women involving 50 female participants being treated for infertility with a hormonal regimen. Rock found that using a combination of estrogen and progesterone would fool the body into thinking it was pregnant. The women, thus “rested,” would be taken off hormones; a surprising number of these patients subsequently conceived children in what was termed the “Rock Rebound.” The effects upon ovulation, i.e. preventing the ovum from being released, indicated its potential to act as a contraceptive.

Description
An account of the resource
The Clarence J. Gamble Archive in the Countway Library of Harvard Medical School is a major collection of correspondence and related materials devoted to the subject of population control. Dr. Gamble has been ranked along with Margaret Sanger and Dr. Robert L. Dickinson as one of the three major figures in American birth control during its most crucial years of change. Gamble was an indefatiguable letter-writer and his correspondence is a rich source of day-to-day information about what was going on with the development and testing of contraceptive methods, changing attitudes of the medical and health professions, legislative reform and education of the public, governmental involvement on local and national levels, and demographic studies in the Third World after the post-World War II population explosion.
Dr. Gamble's papers were presented to the Countway Library in 1970 by his wife Sarah, and the Gamble children. The vast collection (estimated at well over 100,000 pieces) has been processed over a period of years and is now contained in a total of 266 manuscript boxes, plus addenda. Highlights of Dr. Gamble's career are given in the accompanying chronology, which is followed by a list of his publications and outline of the archive's arrangement. A detailed folder-by-folder description of the papers makes up the main body of this Inventory, and there is a selected index of correspondents at the end.

Description
An account of the resource
This fundraising brochure from the National Mental Health Foundation makes a plea for compassion, better care, and education of the feeble-minded and sharply criticizes the family studies of the eugenics movement: <em>“More than a generation ago considerable alarm was spread by studies and theories which led people to fear that civilization was being ‘swamped’ due to the excessive rate of reproduction among the feebleminded. ‘Royal lines of degeneracy’ were traced in the families of the Kallikaks, the Pineys, and Jukes and others with the conclusion that feebleminded traits were as definitely inherited as color of hair and eyes. People became further alarmed when they were told how poverty, illegitimacy, crime and other social evils were in the train of this group. The word ‘menace’ was used to describe the threat of feeblemindedness to human welfare and progress.”</em>
