D&D 5E Multiclassing and Saving Throw Proficencies

twofalls

DM Beadle
I have a player who has taken one class level of Monk, and then is leveling up as a Warlock. I have a question, which saving throws is he now proficient in? Saving throws are a big deal in the game, and it doesn't seem fitting that you get to have 4 proficiencies as opposed to two for a standard one class character. Who wouldn't multiclass at least one level to gain such a bonus? I've looked over the books and online and I cannot find an official ruling on this issue, however it has to have come up at some point with other gamers.

Help?

On p 164 of the PHB, it says that you only gain some of the new class' starting proficiencies as in the table. Since saving throw proficiencies are not mentioned here, I understand it that you don't gain any saving throw proficiencies from the new class.
 

You do get new saves though if the new class gets them. This is level 6 Transmuters using a philosophers stone and high level Rogues and Monks.
