Ron hielt die Philadelphia Doctorate Course Lectures im November 1952 ab. Das Buch Scientology 8-8008 war gerade vorher veröffentlicht worden. Auf dem Kurs wurde das Buch in den Vorträgen im Detail erläutert. Die Serie besteht aus den 62 Vorträgen, die in Philadelphia aufgenommen wurde, zu denen kamen noch weitere 14 Ergänzungsvorträge, die Anfang 1953 in London gehalten wurden.

Ron sprach darüber, wie man OT wird und er sagte seinen Studenten, dass man in dem Masse OT ist, wie man Dinge verursacht und dass die erste Aktion um OT zu werden darin besteht, etwas über das Fachgebiet zu lernen.
