Gladys "Glad" Robinson Youse (1898 – 1985), was an American composer.

Born in Miami, Oklahoma, Gladys Robinson 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, where they raised their daughter, Madolyn (1924-2018), later Mrs. Babcock, who earned her AA degree in 1944 from Stephens College and a Masters of Science Degree in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Minnesota.[1] Glad Robinson Youse was a member of ASCAP[2] and served on the board of the Sigma Alpha Iota Foundation in 1971.[3]

Youse composed sacred and secular music for solo voice, choir, and piano. Today, the National Federation of Music Clubs sponsors the biennial Glad Robinson Youse Adult Composers Contest,[4] and Stephens College offers a Glad Robinson Youse Scholarship.[5] The Competitions and Awards Division of the Texas Federation of Music Clubs has a Glad Robinson Youse Chair.[6]
