	Nosson Zvi Finkel
		Nosson Zvi (Nota Hirsh) Finkel (1849 - 1927) was known as the alter ("elder") of the Yeshiva of Slobodka[?], or Slabodka Yeshiva[?], in a small town in Lithuania where he built it.
		His main opponents in the yeshiva world were the members and alumni of the Brisk[?] yeshiva of Lithuania headed by the Soloveitchik family, who, unlike their kin Joseph Soloveitchik, were adamantly opposed to any changes in what they believed to be the time-tested ways of yeshiva education.
		His own son, Eliezer Yehudah (Lazer Yudel) eventually became the head of the far older Mir yeshiva, leading it all the way to Jerusalem where it is today the largest post-high school yeshiva in the world with thousands of students.

	Yitzchok Hutner
		As a young teenager, he was enrolled in the famous mussar Slabodka[?] Yeshiva in Lithuania, headed by the famous Rabbi Nosson Zvi Finkel.
		Having obtained a deep grounding in Talmud, the young Rabbi Hutner was sent to join an extension of the Slabodka yeshiva in Hebron.
		He maintained this relatively liberal policy during his entire tenure at the helm of the yeshiva, allowing and even encouraging students to combine their day's learning in yeshiva together with attending college, such as at Brooklyn College[?] in late afternoons and evenings.

	Rav Moshe Mordechai Epstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		To relate the story of the Rav Moshe Mordechai Epstein is to relate the story of the Slabodka Yeshiva of Lithuania, the forerunner of the renowned Yeshivas Chevron of Yerushalayim.
		Fifteen years before the Slabodka Yeshiva was founded, a group of talmidei chachamim had begun attacking the intensive study of mussar that was fast becoming the norm in Litvish yeshivos.
		The Slabodka Yeshiva was reestablished in Yerushalayim a short time later, but Rav Moshe Mordechai was deeply affected by the death of so many of his beloved students.

		His father, R' Moshe Yom Tov was a student of the Slabodka Yeshiva and was one of the 14 original students of the yeshiva in Slutsk.
		It is said that one night thereafter, R' Nosson dreamed that the students of the Kelm yeshiva were running down a road as he struggled to keep up with them.
		R' Nosson also was the force behind the establishment of branches of the Lakewood Yeshiva in many cities, and the founding of community kollelim where young married men learned and are available to teach the local baalei batim/laymen.

	Rokiskis, Lithuania (Pages 190-202)
		Slabodka, on the other hand, being the recognized Torah center of Lithuania, championed Talmudic erudition as the highest achievement that a yeshiva student should strive to attain.
		When the dean of the Slabodka Yeshiva, Rabbi Nata Hirsh Finkel, known as Der Alter, examined the newly arrived student from Rakishok, he was deeply impressed by his knowledge and acumen.
		The glorious period of the Lomza yeshiva began with the end of World War I. When the displaced Jews returned to their homes and life normalized again, the quest for advanced Torah education increased rather than decreased as is usually the case in unsettled times.

	Informat.io on Mashgiach Ruchani (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The role of the mashgiach ruchani was strongest in the era prior to World War II, when often the mashgiach was responsible for maintaning yeshiva financially, recruiting and interviewing new students, hiring staff, something akin to an academic "dean".
		After the Holocaust, the influence and position of the mashgiach decreased, and the roles of the rosh yeshivas have outgrown those of the mashgiachs'.
		The need for having a mashgiach within the modern yeshivas was tied in with the rise of the modern mussar movement (teaching of Jewish ethics), inspired by Rabbi Yisrael Lipkin Salanter (1810-1883), and was seen as necessary because yeshiva students faced greater pressures and problems from the world outside of their yeshiva studies.

	Cleaning for their own good - Jewish Media Resources
		And instilling pride in oneself as a yeshiva bochur is a crucial function of yeshivos.
		A good example is the way too many yeshiva bochurim, even mediocre ones, (and their parents) discuss openly their "demands" in shidduchim, and their expectation that they will be provided with an apartment by the time of the chuppah.
		Not only was each yeshiva bochur going against the tide in a society in which yeshiva students were increasingly the subjects of ridicule, but they were doing so at great self-sacrifice.

	Slabodka yeshiva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slabodka yeshiva (Knesses Yisrael), was known colloquially as the "mother of yeshivas" (rabbinical seminaries) devoted to high level study of Judaism's Talmud.
		The yeshiva was located in the Lithuanian town of Slabodka, adjacent to Kovno (Kaunas) (now Vilijampolė, a part of Kaunas).
		The Slabodka yeshiva ceased operation during the Holocaust.

		Each of these works presents a different view or method, but their goal is the same: to heighten the student's awareness of his ethical failings, on the one hand, and accomplishments, on the other.
		Whereas the Rosh Yeshiva (dean) traditionally devotes his lessons to the scholarly material being studied (usually the Talmud), the Mashgiach is responsible for lecturing and leading study groups on the subject of ethics.
		R' Yechezkel was the Mashgiach of the Mir and Ponoviezh Yeshivot in Lithuania, Shanghai, and Israel.

		For example, in the interwar period, the Vaad HaTalmidim of the Slabodka yeshiva arranged for a printing of the sefer.
		It is interesting to note that perhaps the majority of leading roshei yeshiva in the post-war period were produced by the Slabodka yeshiva.
		That yeshiva also happened to be the last real tradition-bearer of a older, more moderate Litvishe yeshivishe culture that was open to learning the truth even if the source happened to be gentile.

		It was not unusual to see the Rosh Yeshiva standing on a chair to retrieve a sefer from a high shelf by himself, despite being surrounded by talmidim who would have considered it a privilege to get the sefer for him.

		In fact, Reb Nosson thinks they were letters describing the great success of Reb Aharon's "khabures" (havurot="colloquia") in the Slabodka yeshiva, to which a great number of students flocked.
		There are even stories that explain away the achievements of Reb Aharon over those of Reb Yaakov (the author's father and a childhood friend of Reb Aharon and classmate of his in Slabodka)--e.g.
		the special treatment given Reb Aharon in Slabodka is attributed, not to his preeminence in Torah, but to Reb Nossen Tzi Finkel's desire to wean Reb Aharon away from the harmful influence of his sister (a Communist).
