History

Reverend Randall Winston at Winston University Circa 1929

“The history of Winston University begins in the late 1800s, when thousands of young men migrated west with nothing than an early sign of scurvy and a dream. If these lost wanderers wanted to survive, they needed a helping hand. And so, with outstretched arms, the Reverend Randall Winston founded the Winston School for Wayward Pioneer Boys. But in 1929, the stock market crashed. An ageing destitute Winston realized, that instead of paying boys to attend his lessons, he should start charging them tuition, thereby turning his beloved school into the accredited university you know today.”— W.U. commercial
