Abstract
Using the recent relatively precise experimental results on the pion s tructure function obtained from Drell-Yan processes, we quantitatively test an old model where the structure function of any hadron is deter mined by that of its constituent quarks. In this model the pion struct ure function can be predicted from the known nucleon structure functio n. We find that the data support the model, at least as a good first a pproximation.
