	Fridtjof Nansen: Scientist and Humanitarian
		Fridtjof was sent to a private school, where he distinguished himself in all subjects from classical languages to mathematics and sports.
		Nansen accordingly believed that by studying the relatively simple nervous system of the hagfish, he could arrive at some of the principles underlying the working of the human central nervous system and brain.
		Nansen argued that an economic boycott of the Soviet Union, in addition to increasing the suffering of the starving people, would also be an obstacle to trade between Russia and the rest of Europe and that without such trade, European postwar reconstruction would be impeded.
