This Workshop on Strings is a follow-on to last year's                     Maryland workshop on this subject.  The focus here is on the                    topic of superstrings.  Several questions require                               clarification.  These include apparently finite theories of                     quantum gravity, whose consistency requires that the force of                   gravity be unified with other forces.  There is also still                      lacking a "geometrical" principle for strings.  A perturbative                  understanding of strings does not suffice for questions of                      compactification and instanton-like effects.  The workshop                      brings together physicists and mathematicians concerned with                    these questions, it also provides an opportunity for young                      physicists to become familiar with string theory, which is an                   extremely technically demanding field.
