International Graduate University began on the high seas of Lake Ontario during the War of 1812. Tensions were running high as the crew of the frigate Lucy Redboots was being pursued by John Bull. Ensigns Ben Bloom and Dan Hauser were huddled below the deck courageously trying to avoid any activity that may result in a good shrapnelling. For their insubordination, Lieutenant Chris Faust unleashed upon Bloom and Hauser three score and eight lashes. Impressed with the rhythm of Lieutenant Faust’s relentless beatings, the ensigns invited him to join their hardcore drum and fife duo, the Ensign and Tennille. The lieutenant agreed, with the proviso that his loyal haberdasher, Dan Fruchter, be included. (Lieutenant Faust was enamored with the way Fruchter’s built his perfect tricorners, complete with four crisp, sixty degree angles, and could not live without his services.)
As a result of the war, International Graduate University, along with the United States, gained international respect that has never been tarnished to this day.

Dear IGU, here we are, friends, musicians who rehearse in the same building, and I'm not sure I'd recognize you if I saw you on the street! We should change that somehow. I wonder how we could change that.
