American composer Glad Robinson Youse (1898 – 1985) was born in Miami, Oklahoma. She graduated from Stephens College in 1919 with a music degree, then studied composition with Tibor Serly in New York. She married Clare Youse and the couple settled in Baxter Springs, Kansas, to raise their daughter Madolyn.[1] Glad Robinson Youse was a member of ASCAP[2] and served on the board of the Sigma Alpha Iota Foundation in 1971.[3]
