'The late Norman Haire graduated from the Sydney Medical School in 1915 after which he became a prominent sexologist and a campaigner for birth control, taking a leading role in first international conference for the World League on Sexual Reform in London in 1929.
Upon his death in 1952, Haire bequeathed his books, records and correspondence (including correspondence with Havelock Ellis) and a sizeable portion of the proceeds of the sale of his home in England to the University, directing that it should be applied for the study of sexology.'
