You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

(2005). ''Conferment''. Manila: DLSU Press.</ref> He was President of De La Salle University from 1961 to 1966 and was named its President Emeritus in 1981.

He was born '''Richard Henry Duerr''' in 1922 in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York (state)|New York]], the third of four children.  He studied at St. James Diocesan High School in Loughlin and St. Joseph's Normal Institute in [[Barrytown, New York]], graduating [[valedictorian]] from both schools.  In 1935, at the age of 13, he entered the junior [[novitiate]] of the Christian Brothers in New York and began his [[postulancy]] on June 26, 1936.  On September 7, 1936, he received the [[religious habit]] and was given the [[religious name]] '''Crescentius Richard'''.

In 1941, [[Brother (Christian)|Brother]] Duerr earned  a [[Bachelor of Science]], with major in [[Chemistry]] and a minor in [[Biology]], from [[The Catholic University of America]] and in 1948, he received his [[Master's degree]] from [[Fordham University]].

== Early career ==
Upon Duerr's graduation from the Catholic University of America, he began a career of teaching.  He spent the first 12 years of that career in [[New York City]] and [[Washington, D.C.]], handling a variety of students, from fifth graders at Saint Mary's Parochial School in New York to the college students of the Manhattan College or La Salle College, teaching [[Chemistry|General Chemistry]], [[Qualitative inorganic analysis|Qualitative]] and [[Quantitative analysis (chemistry)|Quantitative Analysis]], [[Mathematics|College Mathematics]], and the [[Science|General Science]], among others.

== Assignment to the Philippines ==
In 1953 Duerr volunteered for mission service and was assigned to the Philippines, being first posted to [[De La Salle University|De La Salle College]].  He was assigned to [[La Salle Academy-Iligan]] in 1958, the [[University of St. La Salle]] in [[Bacolod]] in 1969, and [[La Salle Green Hills]] in 1980.

=== Presidency of De La Salle College ===
In 1961, Duerr was appointed President of De La Salle College.  During his term, he was instrumental in accomplishing the College's post-[[World War II]] growth including the conferment of academic accreditations upon the College.  He also institutionalized the use of [[management|modern management]] techniques such as educational planning and [[budgeting]] to promote efficiency and initiated the formation of a [[board of trustees]] and the incorporation of the school as a [[non-profit organization|non-stock, non-profit corporation]].<ref name="conferment" />  During his term, he also oversaw the construction of De La Salle University's William Hall.  On July 17, 1981, in recognition of his contributions to the growth of the Lasallian schools in the Philippines, Br.

In 1984, after his stint at La Salle Green Hills, Duerr chose to settle down to [[Lincroft, New Jersey]].
