Boys' boarding schools in Nijmegen
The KDC will be contributing to the event with a lecture by our KDC colleague Dr Marieke Smulders. She will discuss Catholic boys’ culture as it was experienced at three elite boarding schools in Nijmegen: Canisius College, Dominicus College and Nebo, during the 1920s–1950s. Here, priests formed a Catholic male elite. The pupils, boys between twelve and eighteen, were prepared for a future in which they would occupy influential positions in society through a tried-and-tested combination of grammar school-level humanities education, daily religious observances and a carefully curated recreational programme.
