Practice in the Reformed Churches from the Reformation up to that point was indeed that a Doctor was the logical end to "teacher" (pastor/teachers - Eph 4). If someone was going to be a teacher, they would be the best teacher they could be - thus they would have the credentials of learning they needed.

I beleive that every church should have one.
