Miskatonic University was a fictional setting invented by H.P. Lovecraft
and used in some of his stories, most notably _The Dunwich Horror_, where
it was said to be one of the very few places with an original copy of the
Necronomicon; it also had a large collection of similar stuff.  Both the
place and the book have become, as you describe, a running academic joke.
