‘Classrooms were also the site of much of the disciplining of boys that seemed necessary. The ethos of discipline was not simply one of punishment, but one that pervaded all aspects of schooling, finding expression, for example, in imposed periods of silence or marching in lines. Most students and staff recall that punishment at Kostka in the first thirty years or so varied, but was rarely sadistic. In comparison with contemporary schools, including Burke Hall, Kostka’s use of corporal punishment was always relatively lenient.
