Mary Clay Hiner and Winnie Hiner were two of six sisters to attend the State Female Normal School. Mary Clay graduated in 1904 And Winnie in 1913. Mary Clay began teaching at the State Female Normal School in 1905, and she retired in 1947 as a Professor of English, having only a few years of interrupted service at the college from 1914-1922 to earn an additional degree and serve as an associate professor at Peabody College. Winnie Hiner began working at the college in 1913 and in 1924 she was named treasurer a position she held until her retirement in 1955. In 1965, when the former training school was remodeled, the building was renamed for the Hiner sisters (now home to the College of Business and Economics).
