Heroism

There was a story that the final exam of the philosophy course one year was simply "What is Heroism?"

The story then goes that while most everyone wrote pages of an essay, one person (I've heard a half a dozen alumni named as the person) simply wrote "This is" and got full marks.

So when we turned over the exam paper and it was that exact question, everyone around me wrote those two words while I wrote a proper essay.

I was one of the few not marked a zero. Turns out they weren't lying about needing references and arguments.
