Mod. Am aware what the law is. I’m not sure why I assumed it was self understood, but this is what I meant. The gedolim of previous generation were aware that the decision was made regarding the yeshiva in volozhin to close down as opposed to giving in to the government demand for secular studies. For whatever reason (I wont speculate why) they felt that in the US they should incorproate secular studies into the yeshiva day. That decision is still followed by most of todays roshei yeshiva and gedolim.
