"It was one of the best educational years of my life." - Trey Anastasio (BA RUP '88)

Page McConnell (BA RUP '87) booked Phish for the 1985 Annual Springfest at Goddard. Following the show he approached the band and asked if he could join and shortly afterwards he did. Thanks to a recruitment program to fight dwindling enrollment at Goddard, Page got $50 each for getting Trey Anastasio and Jon Fishman (BA RUP '90) to transfer from UVM to Goddard.

Page completed his senior study, "The Art of Improvisation," in 1987. Trey's senior study, "The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday," was completed in 1988. Fishman submitted his thesis, "A Self-Teaching Guide to Drumming Written in Retrospect," in 1990.
