We have measured the spectrum of light hadrons ([pi],[rho],[ital a][sub 1],[ital b][sub 1],[ital f][sub 0]/[ital a][sub 0],[ital N], and [Delta]) in the quenched approximation to lattice QCD on a 32[sup 3][times]64 lattice at [beta]=6/[ital g][sup 2]=6.5. For these measurements we have used staggered quark propagators from two different wall sources. The quark masses used were [ital m][sub [ital q]]=0.01, [ital m][sub [ital q]]=0.005, and [ital m][sub [ital q]]=0.025 (lattice units), allowing an [ital m][sub [pi]]/[ital m][sub [rho]] as low as [similar to]0.4. We were able to verify the PCAC relation [ital m][sub [pi]][sup 2][proportional to][ital m][sub [ital q]], and estimate [ital f][sub [pi]]=93(4) MeV.
