The Mainstream Press Reaction to L Ron Hubbard’s “Dianetics”

” Dr Gumpert makes one minor error – a consequence of taking Hubbard’s word at face value. He notes that “The dianetic prophet, L. Ron Hubbard, [is] a civil engineer and science-fiction writer”.

While Hubbard certainly did write for a variety of pulp fiction magazines, and was best-known for the science he wrote under his own name, he was not a civil engineer.

Hubbard did take a course in civil engineering at George Washington University between 1930 and 1932. However, he failed to complete the first year coursework, and left without a degree.“
