  A calculational framework for determining masses of low lying hadrons using
light front quantization is discussed. The method is based upon four
theoretical tools: discrete light cone quantization, which has been very
successful in 1+1 dimensional models, a projector Monte Carlo method to extract
low lying state data with 2 additional transverse dimensions, the transverse
spatial lattice Hamiltonian of QCD, and exact form factors of the SU(3) x SU(3)
1+1 dimensional non-linear sigma model (NLSM). How these tools are to be put
together to provide a description of hadrons is the main topic of this lecture.
I also focus on the NLSM form factors, which are given new physical relevance
via this picture of QCD. (Based on a lecture given at the ``Theory of Hadrons
and Light-front QCD'' workshop in Zakopane, Poland, August 1994.)
