Nelson Fuson was a physicist and educator, active in Quaker concerns. He was the son of American Presbyterian missionaries to China, Chester G. and Phebe M. Fuson, and spent most of his childhood in South China. After earning a Ph. D. in physics from University of Michigan, he was teaching at Rutgers University when drafted into World War II; he became a conscientious objector. Fuson hoped to do relief service in China, but the Civilian Public Service China Unit was never activated, and Fuson was assigned to camps in Maryland, Indiana, New York, and North Dakota. He also attended training in international administration at Columbia University, training intended to prepare military and civilians for post-war occupation. He married Marian Darnell in 1945, and both were active in the American Friends Service Committee, Friends General Conference, and other Quaker organizations. Fuson taught at Fisk University, Tennessee, from 1949 until his retirement.
