In Europe, the yeshivas were not intended for everyone. Today they are, at least nominally.
Also, in Europe, the yeshivas had secular studies. Not only Volozhin, which was known for opposition to secular studies despite having them; but some lesser known yeshivas were not even opposed to secular studies in principle. I have a niggling semi-memory that Telz had secular studies and that R’ Leizer Gordon supported it, but I can’t back that up.
