Abstract
We present optical (3000-7000 A) synthetic spectra from
our initial population synthesis models of elliptical galaxies.
The integrated spectrum from our 16 Gyr, solar-metallicity model is shown to
be remarkably similar to a spectrum of NGC 4472. In addition, the agreement
between the broad-band colors and Lick spectral indices measured from our
synthetic spectra and observations of early-type galaxies is comparable to
that attained by the models of Worthey (1994).
