  We analyse the meson spectrum in quenched QCD using lattice gauge theory. By
studying hadron propagation with a variety of operators (both smeared and
local), we are able to extract the ground state and first excited state masses
with confidence. We pay attention to the correlations among the data used in
the fits to extract these masses and couplings. We compare the resulting hadron
spectrum with experiment and find evidence for a significant departure in the
pseudoscalar and vector meson masses.
