We analyze the chiral behavior of the hadron spectrum obtained with quenched Wilson fermions on 170 $32^3 \times 64$ lattices at $\beta = 6.0$. We calculate masses of hadrons composed of both degenerate and non-degenerate quarks. We reduce the statistical errors in mass splittings by directly fitting to the ratio of correlation functions. We find significant deviations from a linear dependence on the quark mass, deviations that are consistent with the higher order terms predicted by quenched chiral perturbation theory. Including these corrections yields splittings in the baryon octet that agree with those observed experimentally. Smaller higher order terms are also present in $m_\rho$ and $m_N$. By contrast, the decuplet baryons are well described by a linear mass term. We find the decuplet splittings to be 30% smaller than experiment. We extrapolate our data to $a \to 0$ by combining with the GF11 results, and the best fit suggests that the quenched approximation is only good to $10-15%$.
