In 1913, two years after the publication of his The Records of the Federal Convention, Max and Beatrix Farrand married and moved to a house on Prospect Street in New Haven. Max Farrand was a Professor in the Yale History Department; Beatrix Cadwalader Jones Farrand was already established as one of the formative architects of the new American campus landscape.

Max & Trix celebrates the work of Max and Beatrix Farrand. It is also a story of Standard Oil, and the influence of industrial fortunes on the American university as an institution.
