Per a dinner conversation in 1960's, The President of GWU Dr. Robert Carroll invited a few colleagues to dinner. One of the distinguished gentlemen was a Professor Mossell, (maybe Mosel this was phonetic) who entertained his employer's family with a story about one of his students, years ago, named "Lafayette Hubbard" who went missing from classes.
He found his missing student in what was then a notorious insane asylum in Washington DC named St Elizabeth's.
He stated that he found his student in a straight jacket, in a padded room at St Elizabeths Mental Hospital.. screaming that HE was jesus christ...
(This was related during a series of yet unpublished interviews with his son, who is now a 25 year friend of mine.)

Oh WOW!!
Are there any documented records on this?
All I have is a digital recording from a 3 hour interview of the son.
The rest is circumstancial... though convictions have rested on circumstancial evidence...These events were from the 40's... thats 70 years ago.... in the early 50's (50-52) there were newspaper reports nationally about the "Miracle" in Kansas after The Menninger Clinic took over control of state mental hospitals.. Menninger advocated treatment instead of mere incarceration (and shock therapy) of the mentally disturbed. There were rave reviews of the new program.
I suspect our charismatic old nutball thought he might get his wacked out mind fixed out there or maybe just get some good drugs.. so when lawsuits in state court in New Jersey made life uncomfortable, perhaps he chose to move to whichita...
seeking help.
In one of his PDC tapes he makes a reference to a nuthouse he calls "Walnut Acres" in Bethesda Maryland....- well St Elizabeth's had an adjunct "long term care" facility that was implicated as being one of the locations used for notorious (This guy scares me) Dr Cameron's MkUltra.. in Bethesda Maryland. I forgot its name it was a nut but not a walnut...) for more on MkUltra google "congressional testimony MkUltra < very creepy testimony... before you start reading different internet 'spins' on that program.
Maureen posted a scan of a newpaper article about Dr Cameron, from a newletter by Volney Mathison, the inventor of the E-meter, and Volney must have known something significant because he drew arrows drawn next to and pointing to Dr Cameron's name...
There is also evidence coming to light that Hubbard was also treated (to something..) at a mental hospital facility in Savannah Georgia...
Fun sidebar: from wiki: The Menninger Clinic is referred to in paraphrase as the "Berringer Clinic" in the movie The Exorcist.

What is NOT on that official bio page at GWU is something else his son told me... that he was the overseer - of Operation Paperclip, and UNLIKE the operation paperclip page on Wiki... it was far far larger than anyone imaged.. he said 'thousands" of brilliant nazis were brought to the US and placed in large corporations and the CIA...info that he gleaned from his father's notes - years after his father passed away under unusual circumstances... which was after his father reportedly challenged Ike and Dullus about the propriety of what they were doing..
..bringing the smartest nazis to america, giving them new names, and gave them jobs in the CIA and Military Industrial Complex..
He obviously saw some value in it if he sent Bruce Davis over for services. As you said "His objective was to own people, body and soul, to be the guru........" Maybe he saw something within scientology which he felt would allow him to further his objective.
