The “Doorknob of the Universe” is actually a water tower on campus that you back up against – preferably at night – and look up at. It is a bit odd to see from that angle but a water tower all the same. I’m quite sure that whoever named this the “Doorknob of the Universe” was fairly inebriated when doing so. Hmmmm…. odd that this is one of the places listed to see in Oxford, MS.
