The college aspect occurred to me .. but not at the moment I was typing.. actually I think the elves are not so artsy as Lal makes out .. they must have been self sufficient and HoME indicates gender preferences for different tasks. I don't think we see those sides because it is a Hobbit perspectives and they are more interested in teh differences than the similarities.
