The person who answered 'font' is incorrect, I'm afraid. Font of knowledge is known as a Mondegreen - a phrase born from misinterpreting the correct meaning. The term you're looking for is 'Fount of knowledge' If you picture a church font, it's a large stone bowl-like structure containing holy water for baptising ceremonies. Crucially, water in a baptismal font is still. The image of a fountain with jets of water spurting in the air depicts the idea of abundance – fitting for the idea of someone (or something) with an abundance of knowledge or wisdom.
