Located at the south entrance of Colton Chapel, the statue faces southward. Marquis has a sword drawn in one hand, with an article in the magazine Architecture saying Lafayette is depicted as a "youthful soldier". The base of the monument is made of concrete and features the following quote from Lafayette inscribed on it: "I read, I study, I examine, I listen, I reflect and out of all this I try to form an idea into which I put as much common sense as I can."
