how great we may think we are, after all, my friends, man is no better than his Wife's opinion of him.
 T tell you gentlemen, individual character counted in those olden times. The men were game and the women were game. They were tough and true every one of them-and we should keep them steadily in view, for the more we learn to value their work, the better and nobler, will be ours.
 During Mayor Studley's many years of active public life he has al- ways been respected for those admir- able qualities that belong to sincere gentleman-and there is no higher title that one can wear. As lawyer he has been noted in his profession and faithful in his work. As judge he has been dignified and fair. Jus tice is to him serious consideration. To do right because it is right has been the rule of his life-to do right and to help right-to protect the weak against the strong and to balance the scales with justice. mingled with kind ness. The name of an upright judge is his diploma from the bench
 Three times have we made him mayor of New Haven, each successive election resulting in larger majority than the last-a larger measure of public confidence in his high charac- ter He has won the affections of all classes of the people, for he has been the peoples mayor.
 Mayor Studley is veteran of the civil war. He learned how to com mand in learning how to obey.
 "Of course we all know that he is bashful, reserved and gentle in his dis position, and we also know that the bravest are the tenderest, the loving are the daring.
 That is why men of all classes and of all political connections are repre- scented here tonight to express with gratitude the common regard of New Haven for her distinguished son. No one ever doubted his attitude on any 1 important measure. No one ever dared assail his ability or his integ- rity. Is it any wonder that this tes- timonial of recognition is given him tonight by representative citizens of the city he has so sincerely served?
 He is made out of the material that all men admire in a public man. We cannot too strongly emphasize the ad- miration we feel for men who faith i fully perform their duty, and tonight you have chosen to honor one of whom New Haven is profoundly proud-a man who has given us an example of an upright public career.
 Mayor Studley, I wish you long life and contentment."
