Yeshiva Etz Chaim of Boro Park

According to this [1], Etz Chaim yeshiva (the antecedent of RIETS/Yeshiva University) spun off to Yeshiva Etz Chaim of Boro Park, which is quite possible if Etz Chaim Yeshiva merged with RIETS in 1915, and Etz Chaim of Boro Park was established in 1916. But all other sources say Etz Chaim of Boro Park was established in 1916 without any mention of RIETS. Does anyone know information regarding this?

The Etz Chaim Yeshiva that merged with RIETS in 1915 was reorganized into the Talmudical Academy High School. See Gilbert Klaperman, The story of Yeshiva University: The first Jewish university in America. Itsik.isserles (talk) 18:08, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
