You overhear and then join a conversation in the dorm about a proposal to pay football players on the college team. There are disagreements.  In this conversation, you and others bring in facts and examples. You take turns, letting others talk. You learn a lot about scholarships, NCAA rules, the history of sports at Calvin, and injuries in various sports. You want to learn more. 

This sort of conversation-where participants make arguments with a goal not of winning but of understanding--is what Calvin is all about, the highest example (the epitome) of Calvin's motto, "think deeply, act justly, and live wholeheartedly."
