                         -------------

After delivering a series of lectures to the newly formed Hubbard
Association of Scientologists in London and completing his landmark
work, Scientology 8-8008, Mr. Hubbard returned to the United States
for a celebrated series of December 1952 lectures in Philadelphia.
Known as the Philadelphia Doctorate Course, these lectures described
the full range of man's spiritual potential as well as a wide analysis
of human behavior. As recordings of these lectures began to circulate
throughout the Scientology field, and a third printing of Scientology
8-8008 rolled off the press, the ranks of Scientology kept increasing
on both sides of the Atlantic.

By early 1953, Mr. Hubbard resumed his instruction of auditors at
the Hubbard Association of Scientologists International center in
Marlborough Place, London. The organization now boasted many more
auditors in training and a burgeoning field of preclears.Concurrently,
American Scientologists opened new centers in Houston, Texas; Hollywood
and El Cerrito, California. In order to apprise them of the latest
technical breakthroughs, the Hubbard Communications Office in London
opened and the first Professional Auditor's Bulletins were published.
