The 1970 Marshall Memorial Fountain, located just outside the Memorial Student Center on Marshall University's Huntington campus, serves as a poignant tribute to the 75 lives lost in the tragic plane crash on November 14, 1970. Created by sculptor Harry Bertoia, the fountain symbolizes resilience and the enduring spirit of the university community, commemorating the victims with an inscription that honors their memory.

Dedicated on November 12, 1972, by President John G. Barker, the fountain is a focal point for annual memorial services, where a wreath is laid and the water is turned off until spring. In 2008, the fountain underwent extensive repairs and was rededicated, reaffirming its significance as a landmark of hope and continuity for students, alumni, and the community.
