Why he picked Mir Yeshiva (MY) over Volozhin. Essen taig vs. a student dining hall in the yeshiva. The ways that essen taig was unpleasant and harmful. The Semichah exam in YU compared to in MY. Zaltzman's arrival in MY and the older student who took him in. This older student's unusual library with Haskala literature and more. Zaltzman moved to Tel Aviv. The books he wrote. The popularity of many -isms pre WW I as opposed to post WW I. R' Eliyahu Boruch Kamai, his son R' Avraham Tzvi and his son-in-law R' Eliezer Yehuda Finkel make MY great.

R' Finkle's policy of helping other yeshivot. He helped R' Velvel Soloveitchik in Brisk by sending him students and supporting them. R' Velvel's prominent students. R' Noach Borenstein.
