	JewishEncyclopedia.com - VOLOZHIN:
		Volozhin is celebrated for the rabbinical school which existed there until 1892.
		Wilna already had two yeshibot, and there was no room for a third; so Volozhin was chosen, where had lived a number of such men as the author of "Sha'agat Aryeh" and Zalman Volozhiner.
		The chiefs of the yeshibot, fearing that secular studies would "poison the minds of the students and turn them away from the study of the Talmud," stubbornly refused to introduce these innovations; they feared also that Orthodox Jews would withhold their contributions from the school.

	Yeshiva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As indicated by the Talmud, adults generally took off two months a year (Ellul and Adar, the months preceding the harvest) to pursue full-time Torah study.
		Organised Torah study was revolutionised by Rabbi Chaim Volozhin, a disciple of the Vilna Gaon (an influential 18th century leader of Orthodox Judaism).
		Although this institution was closed some 60 years later by the Russian government, a number of yeshivot opened in other towns and cities, most notably Ponovezh, Mir, Brisk and Telz (note: these are the Yiddish names of the Lithuanian and Polish towns).

		Unfortunately, the Volozhin Yeshiva didn't last too long as the Czarist government of Russia saw what was going on and tried to force it to adopt a more secular curriculum as part of making it less Jewish.
		While the Volozhin Yeshiva was willing to tolerate some secular studies, the Russian demand that all faculty members have diplomas from recognized Russian educational institutions in order to teach "Russian language and culture" was not acceptable.

		Some may think that since R. Hayyim of Volozhin’s teacher the GRA wrote a commentary on the Ari’s Etz Hayyim that R. Hayyim must be a mystic.
		In truth, according to both Luria and Volozhin, the contracted Ein Soph is actually the same as the realm from which it contracts itself.
		This was recognized by Rabbi Hayyim Volozhiner, the favourite disciple of the Gaon of Vilna, when, in 1824, in the Nefesh ha'Hayyim (a work little known in the West but one in which the living elements of Judaism converge), he wrote that a Jew is accountable and responsible for the whole edifice of creation.

	Back Row Of The 'Beis: Rethinking Volozhin
		The Yeshivot that we think of when we think about Lithuanian Jewry -- Volozhin, Mir, etc. -- did not achieve their dominance until the latter half of the 19th century.
		Indeed, many maskilim made their way to Volozhin only to be disappointed in his complete avoidance of these sorts of topics and issues.
		Some of the Netziv's students, such as R. Reines and R. Kook, seem to be a bit of the legacy of this older, open-minded school.

		They were all products of Volozhin or its progeny.
		Maskilim, much like their parallels of today, however, did not actually care about what they said, and they certainly did not care one wit about the Torah.
		Famously, when R' Chaim Volozhiner was encountered by two of his former students who went off the derech, and was bombarded by their attempts to justify their kefira with the "issues" and "questions" they had difficulty with, R' Chaim said, these are not questions, these are answers.

		My above assumption is based on family rumors about Reb' Itzaleh's positon at the wedding as well as a written note of a Landau in our upline in that direction.
		I've read also that Reb Chaim had another, little known of son, Yosef, who left Volozhin and settled in Sharshev.
