==Early life==
Leo Baekeland was born in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium on November 14, 1863, the son of a cobbler and a house maid. He told ''The Literary Digest'': "The name is a Flemish word meaning 'Land of Beacons.'"〔Funk & Wagnalls, 1936.〕 He spent much of his early life in Ghent, Belgium. He graduated with honours from the Ghent Municipal Technical School and was awarded a scholarship by the City of Ghent〔 to study chemistry at the University of Ghent, which he entered in 1880.〔 He acquired a PhD maxima cum laude at the age of 21. After a brief appointment as Professor of Physics and Chemistry at the Government Higher Normal School in Bruges (1887-1889) he was appointed associate professor of chemistry at Ghent in 1889.〔 Baekeland married Céline Swarts, the daughter of his professor Theodore Swarts and Celine (Platteau) Swarts, on August 8, 1889. They had three children, George, Nina, and Jenny.〔
