No expert - just Googled.

This statement came from the first link below.

"At that time they had what they called the Thomason Act. It was an Act of Congress introduced by Congressman [R. Ewing] Thomason, and it authorized the government to select a thousand of the best ROTC graduates who wished to apply, to serve for a year in the Regular Army. At the end of the year it would offer regular commissions to the best 10 percent."

There are several sites that discuss this within this site.
