Description: 

The "college professor from the neighboring State University" who visits Gavin Stevens presumably teaches at the University of Mississippi (444). This is located in Oxford, the real life source for Jefferson and the town Faulkner was living in when he wrote Light in August. Mississippi State, the other possibility, is at least sixty miles further from Jefferson than Oxford, so less 'neighboring.'
